Beginning August 2020, Ode & Rae are committing to contributing to a number of charities close to our hearts. At checkout you will have the option to choose which charity you would like your contribution to go to (don't worry it doesn't cost you any extra, we pay this on your behalf). All 4 charities will be sent the customer allocated contribution on a quarterly basis.
On top of this we will also be releasing limited edition collections each quarter in line with one specific charity from the list. The charitable proceeds from the limited edition collections will go directly to the relevant charity for that quarter.
You can read a little about the movements and charities we are supporting below.

The death of George Floyd recently saw a well overdue focus from society on the Black Lives Matter movement and highlighted the extent of systemic inequalities with regards to race throughout the world.
