Dear Livelihood Current + Potential Supporters,

I am so excited to announce that Livelihood is embarking on a re-launch. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my time and energy to overseeing criminal justice programming and policy reform at the Delaware Center for Justice. My focus today is on the pursuit of my dream for community impact through innovative philanthropy, community reinvestment, and community empowerment via fashion.

My promise to all consumers is that Livelihood will be transparent, collaborative, and communicative about projects, initiatives, and funding. Livelihood is not about me, it’s about, We. This is a brand that is all-inclusive, non-partisan, and empowering. The goal is to educate one another about economic inequality in the United States, celebrate extraordinary everyday people, provide funding for economic advancement, restore decision making at the community level, and provide cozy, functional, and sleek hoodies.

Livelihood’s first collection, through a collaboration with GILT Group, raised $30,000, and these proceeds were deposited in the Delaware Community Foundation Livelihood Inc. fund.

Today, my focus is on Livelihood’s re-launch, and entails securing additional funding so that communities identified have additional resources to invest and raising startup capital for production of the second collection. In addition to raising donor funding and startup funding, I am creating a Livelihood team that will be essential to a successful re-launch.

Moving forward, 10% of the proceeds from every purchase of a Livelihoodie will go to Community Development Funds in identified communities in need.

Thank you for your support, patience, and belief in Livelihood. Let’s join forces to tackle poverty and increase comfort and the livelihood of all.

Warmly,

Ashley Biden
