JetPens Penefit Program

JetPens cares deeply about our community. Whether it’s giving to our neighbors or students in low-income schools worldwide, we created the Penefit Program to send monetary or product donations to organizations that make a significant impact on the people they reach.

We've given to global nonprofits, local charities, and schools in need. Please see below for notable current and past initiatives.

BEAM: Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics

BEAM (Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics) is an organization that creates pathways for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and programmers. To support this cause, JetPens donated $4000 on Giving Tuesday, 2024.

We also donated $4000 in November 2023 and $3000 in December 2022. We believe in the power of education and are happy to be able to give to underserved students!

JetPens is committed to partnering with BEAM by donating $4000 every year with the proceeds from our very own Kanso line of stationery.

CARE

CARE aims to fight global poverty and hunger, with a focus on vulnerable women and girls. On Giving Tuesday, 2024, JetPens donated $2000 to support their goals.

In the summer of 2023, we collaborated with Franklin-Christoph to exclusively carry the Model 45 Fountain Pen in Golden Poppy. Named after the eye-catching California state flower, it features a swirling orange acrylic and subtle JP engraving on the cap. As part of the collaboration, we made a donation of $360 to CARE in March 2024.

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley

The JetPens team volunteered together at Second Harvest of Silicon Valley in early March of 2024. Second Harvest's mission is to end hunger in our community, and we were honored to be able to do a food sorting shift to help support this need.

Silicon Valley Community Foundation

In early 2023, we collaborated with Stalogy to create a JetPens special edition of the 365Days Notebook. After the first batch of the notebook sold out, we donated $600 to Silicon Valley Community Foundation to give back to our local community. SVCF serves the whole community—from individuals and families to nonprofits, donors, and advisors, to local officials, institutions, and companies of all types and sizes. They bring together the resources and skills of donors, business, government, and community to solve some of our region’s toughest challenges.

City Team

For Giving Tuesday of 2022, JetPens donated $3000 to City Team. An organization founded on meeting local needs, they have programs across the United States to offer help with hot meals, groceries, shelter, housing and restorative programs, learning and career help, and more. We gave to the local City Team in San Jose to show our commitment to our neighbors.

OneHacks II

In mid-June of 2022, JetPens partnered with OneHacks II. It is a student-run 15-hour coding competition that strives to promote creativity, ingenuity, and ambition, as well as provide professional and STEM education opportunities. JetPens donated around $1500 worth of products for swag bags. We look forward to seeing what these students do in the future!

Creative Growth

Based in Oakland, California, Creative Growth is a non-profit organization that provides a professional studio and an exhibition gallery for artists with developmental disabilities. They believe that art is fundamental to human expression and that all people are entitled to its tools of communication. On Giving Tuesday of 2021, JetPens made a $2000 donation to support the work that they do for people with disabilities.

Beyond Good Intent

Beyond Good Intent is a nonprofit organization working on community and youth development in the diverse city of Stockton, California. Their mission is to provide networking and educational opportunities to underprivileged individuals. In April 2021, JetPens donated over 100 notebooks to their Effective Academics for Stockton Youth (EASY) program, which operates from April to December 2021 and provides weekly, allowing an estimated 2,000 students to develop effective study habits, confidently set and achieve goals, and gain a greater sense of personal accountability.

Parkmont Elementary School

We love supporting schools in our local community. Parkmont Elementary School in Fremont, CA holds a "Chalk the Walk" event at the beginning of the school year to welcome new students with positive messages around campus. In late July of 2020, JetPens donated 200 boxes of Umajirushi DC Chalk (Pack of 72) to help them with this project.

In late March of 2021, we made another donation of over 200 notebooks for their students to use.

Balance Boxes

Balance Boxes provides boxes filled with goodies for underserved youth to give the perfect balance of education and fun to kids. They provide students in low-income communities with education and enjoyable activities. Each box is created with a designated theme and includes books, educational games, and school supplies. To support the Bay Area Chapter, JetPens donated 200 JetPens Baron Fig Confidant Notebooks.

Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

JetPens donated 200 JetPens Baron Fig Confidant Notebooks to put in Art Boxes going to underserved K-6 graders in the Bay Area. The Art Boxes are a part of the de Youngsters Art Party, an annual fundraising event hosted by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco to promote curiosity and empowerment through art. Their mission this year is to donate more than 1000 Art Boxes to underserved children.

World Vision

In 2009, we partnered with World Vision to sponsor eight classrooms and provide them with much-needed school supplies. Combined with other corporate donations, each sponsored classroom received over $700 worth of supplies!

On Giving Tuesday of 2020, we partnered again with World Vision by donating $1000 to their Coronavirus Emergency Response program. They matched our donation as part of their Giving Tuesday initiative. World Vision is fighting COVID-19 by serving areas of conflict, urban slums, and refugee settlements in over 70 countries worldwide.

Ocean Conservancy

In 2019, we collaborated with BENU to create the Pacific Coast Briolette Fountain Pen, inspired by the stunning sight of the Pacific ocean. In early November 2020, we donated $600 to the Ocean Conservancy. This organization supports the protection of the ocean through various programs, from coastal cleanup to marine wildlife protection.

Equal Justice Initiative

In early June of 2020, JetPens made a $1000 donation to the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit organization that challenges racial and economic injustice and advocates for equal treatment in the criminal justice system in the United States. As an American company, we want to contribute to the protection of the basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

Unidos en Salud

In late May of 2020, we donated 400 N95 respirator masks to Unidos en Salud, an organization doing COVID-19 testing in heavily affected areas of San Francisco. They've partnered with UCSF, the Latino Task Force for COVID-19, SF Department of Public Health, and the District 10 (D10) Community, and we're honored to contribute to their cause.

Stanford Hospital & San Francisco VA Medical Center

Leveraging our knowledge of and experience in importing goods from Asia, we helped transport 10,000 medical grade masks from China to donate to two hospitals in the SF Bay Area: Stanford Hospital and the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The masks were delivered to the hospitals in early May of 2020, during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

California Fire Foundation

In 2018, we created an exclusive Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen in honor of our home state, California. We donated $1500 to the California Fire Foundation, which provides aid to firefighters and communities affected by California wildfires.

In 2019, we added the Retro 51 Tornado Fountain Pen in the same design. As with the rollerball pen, we made a donation of $1000 to the California Fire Foundation on Giving Tuesday, 12/03/2019.

Red Cross

In April 2011, we contributed to the Red Cross to fund disaster relief efforts for the people affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku, Japan.
