Become a changemaker

Changemakers are people who value the work of Clean Clothes Campaign and are able to make a commitment to ensure that our organisation can survive in the long term.

There are several ways in which you can be part of this group:

  • Commit to a yearly financial contribution of at least €500
  • Activate your network to help us reach more structural and one-time donors
  • Commit your time to help us take our fundraising efforts to the next level

Our Changemakers...

  • Are invited to exclusive events and meetings that showcase the work that is made possible with your support, with an opportunity to meet with staff members, and trade unionists and garment workers where possible.
  • Are part of a unique network of  engaged activists and experts in the fields of labour rights, business & human rights, gender and climate justice.
  • Are the first to receive updates about the activities and campaigns of Clean Clothes Campaign

Read more about becoming a Changemaker and the tax deductions for people who pay taxes in the Netherlands in our brochure.

We are proud to be able to play an independent role in campaigning for worker rights, and therefore will not accept financial support from any company that profits from the production of garments.

Instead, we create our own community of supporters around the world. You can donate below, or contact us (changemaker[@]cleanclothes.org) about other ways to join the Changemaker community.

If you want to make a smaller donation, please check our donate page.

What we've accomplished thus far:

  • 40 million dollars of wages & severance secured as a result of our Pay Your Workers coalition work
  • 250+ brands committed to the legally binding International Safety Accord, which we helped create. It has evolved from a national to international programme following successful campaigning efforts
  • We have supported trade unions & NGOs in 40 countries in 500 cases of labour rights violations through our Urgent Appeals system which allows garment workers to rapidly alert the network of labour rights violations, and request support.
  • 100+ garment brands signed a Transparency Pledge to provide more information about their supply chains
  • 37 million dollars were paid to victims of large industrial accidents & their families, to cover medical costs & compensate lost earnings
  • We launched the Fashion Checker, an online database for journalists, researchers & consumers that contains statistics about the wages paid to garment workers in the supply chains of over 300 brands
  • We have a vibrant and diverse solidarity network that links up activists, workers, policymakers, journalists, NGOs and consumers.

Clean Clothes Campaign is recognised as a Public Benefit Organisation by the Dutch Tax Administration (ANBI). If you are a Dutch citizen, your donation is eligible for tax deduction if you commit to an annual donation for at least five years. You can find the dedicated tax authority form here or read more here.

Clean Clothes Campaign has an equivalency determination certification with NGOsource, and is therefore the equivalent of a U.S. public charity under the IRS' ED standards. Our existing legal analysis and ED certificate are available to US grantmakers upon request.
