6 Years of Impact
Help Us Bridge the $30,000 Gap
As featured in Charlotte Magazine: we've diverted 10,000+ pounds of textiles, created 70 gig economy roles, and donated hundreds of pounds to community closets. Help us sustain this momentum.
Our Goal
$30,000 to Close the Gap
Help us match our tripled expenses from 2025's expansion
From Home Studio to Community Hub
Six years ago, founder CT Anderson launched Springclean from her home with a simple yet powerful vision: create jobs while keeping textiles out of landfills. What started as a passion project has grown into Charlotte's leading circular fashion nonprofit.
​
This spring, we expanded to a 1,000-square-foot boutique at Camp North End—Charlotte's creative heart—reaching 65,000+ monthly visitors. We've diverted over 10,000 pounds of textiles, created nearly 70 gig economy roles since 2019, and transformed everything from old Hornets t-shirts into teddy bears to vinyl banners into tote bags.
​
But growth comes with growing pains. Our 2025 expansion tripled our operating expenses, and we need your help to close the $27,000 gap.

Why Your Gift Matters Now
​
Expansion Success
Our move to Camp North End tripled our reach and impact—but also tripled our operating costs. We need sustainable funding to maintain this momentum.
​
Growing Demand
Charlotte generates over 40,000 tons of textile waste annually. As awareness grows, more people are seeking sustainable alternatives—and we're ready to serve them.
​

We're creating living-wage jobs in one of America's most economically immobile cities. Your gift directly supports workforce development in underserved communities.
​
Future Growth
With stable funding, we're planning a second location in Raleigh and expanding our CircleUp Youth workforce program. Help us scale our impact across the Carolinas.
