Ever since the beginning of Blvd Custom, we have made it our mission to make awesome shoes, support artists, and give back to our communities when we can.
Through partnerships, artist exclusive collections, and the help of all our amazing supporters, we have been able to raise thousands of dollars to various organizations to support and encourage their charitable efforts.
If you are able to donate this year and are looking for charities to support and give to, we have created a list of our favorite organizations and groups that we have been able to donate to in the past!
Give Back to the planet!

Now, more than ever, we believe the synthesis between creative expression, nature, and society can powerfully (re)connect us and communities with the planet's most important ecosystem. Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to create meaningful environmental change for oceans through Science, Education, and ARTivism (S.E.A.)."
- Project Hiu - "Project Hiu's initiative is providing alternative income to fishermen in Indonesia. Hiu is the Indonesian work for shark and is how they came up with the name!

Tourism is a natural and alternate income for the community as a while that simultaneously and effectively protects sharks."

Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.

We bail out our Black & brown siblings in NYC jails, prioritizing those who are medically vulnerable. We cannot bail out protestors.
