Our Story

Since launching the Z SUPPLY brand in 2013, being a positive force in our community has been incredibly important to us. We are so thankful for our continued success, but with success comes great responsibility. With the mantra that ‘we’re all in this together’, Z SUPPLY launched its philanthropic arm, the Z SUPPLY Foundation in 2021. The foundation is committed to supporting social, environmental and educational qualified tax-exempt 501(c) (3) public charities in the United States. Each year, the foundation will have a specific focus, giving us the opportunity to support all the causes that mean so much to us as a brand.

We look forward to continuing our support of the future generations of creatives by donating 100% of our sales each year (excluding taxes and shipping charges) to the Z SUPPLY Foundation Education Fund. We achieve this through our Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday campaign initiatives on zsupply.com. Together we can make a positive impact on the future generation.
