5% of our profits are donated to struggling BIPoC & LQBTQ+ students.

Student Spotlight

I started Via’s Cookies with the intention of helping others in my community excel. I know financial hardship and have faced many obstacles due to monetary constraints within the educational world and believe that everyone should be able to afford the education they want, not just people with privilege. So, every month, I try to take 5% of my profits and any other donations and give them directly to a student within the BIPoC and/or LGBTQ+ community to help them with their studies.

I’d encourage you to read about all of the amazing students I’ve been able to help and if you have the money, donate directly to them as well!
