Giving Back in 2025: A Year of Intentional Impact
At LaSoph, giving back has never been an afterthought. It’s part of how we move through the world.
Every candle poured is rooted in something deeper: care, intention, and the belief that small, consistent actions can create meaningful change. As a small business, our impact looks intentional and personal. Each month, we donate a portion of sales. It’s a rhythm of giving that feels honest and aligned with what LaSoph stands for.
This year, that intention felt even more personal. Becoming a mom has deepened the way I think about care. The mental and emotional development of children, the experiences they grow up with, and the environments they’re shaped by all matter in a way that feels more tangible now.
Here’s a look at the organizations we chose to support throughout 2025.
The Organizations We Supported
Each organization was chosen with care, reflecting causes that matter deeply to both our community and my own life.
Pasadena Humane
At the beginning of the year, the wildfires in California were impossible to ignore. Supporting their work caring for displaced and injured animals during that time felt especially important.
Underdog Rescue MN
A local organization doing meaningful work to give dogs a second chance. Supporting close-to-home efforts is something I continue to prioritize.
Coral Reef Alliance
Protecting our oceans means protecting the future. Their work helps preserve delicate ecosystems that so much life depends on.
Literacy Minnesota
Literacy creates opportunity. Supporting education means supporting long-term, generational impact.
National Immigration Law Center
Their work centers on equity, protection, and access. Supporting immigrant communities is essential to building a more just and inclusive future.
One Tree Planted
An ongoing part of our giving. Because sustainability isn’t something we commit to once, it’s something we continue to show up for.
A Continued Commitment to the Planet
For every order placed, we continue to plant a tree through One Tree Planted.
It’s one of the simplest ways we stay connected to something bigger. A single order becomes part of something lasting.
Why This Matters
LaSoph was created during a deeply emotional time in my life, and that foundation still shapes everything today. Giving back isn’t about scale, it’s about intention.
As a small business, we believe in being transparent about how we show up. What we give is consistent, thoughtful, and rooted in care. Over time, those small actions add up.
And when you choose LaSoph, you’re part of that.
Our Impact, Together
Every purchase supports more than a product. It supports animals, families, education, environmental restoration, and communities that deserve care and protection.
Small businesses may be quiet in scale, but they can still create meaningful impact when they lead with intention.
Thank you for being part of this with us. For choosing a slower, more mindful way of living, and for allowing LaSoph to give back in a way that feels real.
Lighting serenity, sparking change.
