Partnership Boxes
Hosting a Partnership Sale is an excellent way to empower impoverished artisans and farmers across the world, grow economic justice and Fair Trade, and fundraise for your own cause, too.
We have two different types of Partnership Boxes to choose from. Read the overview below to see which box sounds best for you. More detailed information follows.

How it works
Select from PJT’s online store the items you’d like to sell at your event. The products shipped to you will be priced and ready to sell. With your order, you’ll receive a 25% discount off the total price that can be used by your church or organization for any worthy cause. Please note, Symbolic Gift Donations do not receive a discount.
For example, let’s say you order a box that totals $1000: you pay $750 for the box and the profit ($250), when you’ve finished selling everything in your box, can be used at your discretion. In 2005 the proceeds from one of the Partnership Boxes helped victims of Hurricane Katrina. As one artisan said, “It made me feel so happy to know that the work from my hands helped a Hurricane Katrina victim in the U.S.”
Promotion
We provide you with selling tips, promotional material including information about products and pictures and stories about the producers, posters to announce your sale, and more! We have an e-newsletter that will provide sales tips, information about producers and Fair Trade and more. Sign up here for the e-newsletter here!
Our online ordering system allows you to choose which items you would like to sell in your Partnership Box. After you fill out the necessary information (click here to do so), we will contact you with information on how to access our special Partnership Coordinators Section, where you’ll be able to shop and order your box contents online without having to make a payment. Please allow us 2-3 business days to sign you up for a Partnership Account. In addition, please note, you cannot place an online order for a Partnership Box without this account. If you have an account from previous years, this account should still be good to use again.
Prepayment and agreement
Once we receive your online order for products, we’ll send you a confirmation e-mail along with an invoice for the 20% deposit on your box and a Partnership Box Agreement that needs to be signed and returned. We will fulfill your order and ship it out within 5 business days of receiving your Partnership Box Agreement and deposit.
Reordering
You may place a reorder for additional products. Use the login and password already given to you. The reorder minimum is $150 and does not receive free shipping.
After your sale
If you have unsold items left after your sale that you would like to return, you can send them back to PJT within 7 days of the last day of your sale (you are responsible for return shipping). We will invoice you 10% restocking fee and refund you for these returned products. Please remember that ceramics and food products cannot be returned.
