There's magic in making people feel like they matter... and creating magic is what Buzztag is all about. When you order swoon-worthy swag, you're not only making a difference for your crowd, but for humanity.

Buzztag feels strongly about helping and building the local community by supporting numerous causes, ALL THE TIME. 

CENTRAL OREGON HUMANE SOCIETY At any time, the Central Oregon Humane Society has anywhere between 50-60 animals. There, they wait--however long it takes--until they find their furever home. Buzztag strives to lower those numbers by raising awareness about National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day. CONTINUE READING

THE BLOOM PROJECT There isn't much to smile over when you think of end-of-life care, but thanks to The Bloom Project, there are more smiles across the state of Oregon. Buzztag wants to help spread the blooms and cheer, and does so by holding a vase drive year-round.  CONTINUE READING

NEIGHBORIMPACT The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development found a 31% increase in homelessness in Central Oregon in 2017. Buzztag believes everyone deserves a warm place to call home. That's why 100% of the proceeds of some of our popular products go to rehousing those on the streets. CONTINUE READING

100+ WOMEN WHO CARE One of those caring women is none other than Buzztag's Queen Bee, Brenda. The non-profit meets four times a year, learning about local charities and each donating a $100 check to a charity the group selects. Their philanthropical efforts have benefited the Central Oregon Veterans Ranch, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend, Backpacks in Bend and Family Access Network.

WBEC-PACIFIC Buzztag's Queen Bee is the Oregon Leadership Forum Chair for WBEC-Pacific, the regional division of WBENC, the largest certifier of women-owned businesses in the US and a leading advocate for women business owners and entrepreneurs. Brenda is responsible for educating, connecting and supporting other Oregon businesses to become woman-owned certified.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Opportunity Knocks is a private non-profit that serves Central Oregon's business and organizational community. Brenda is a facilitator for the peer-based non-profit, coaching and mentoring a group of members. They meet once a month for three hours, but she is constantly in communication with her team, providing expertise and insight to help drive their success.

MOUNTAINSTAR FAMILY RELIEF NURSERY MountainStar Family Relief Nursery is all about preventing child abuse and neglect. The non-profit accomplishes this mission by providing therapeutic services and community support. This is something all of us at Buzztag feel is so needed.

FAMILY ACCESS NETWORK Buzztag is passionate about children and believes every child deserves to have access to basic need services. Family Access Network's goal is to keep children healthy and in school. The non-profit improves the lives of more than 9,000 every year.

KIDS CENTER The Kids Center is a child abuse intervention center, providing evaluations and therapeutic services to help children and families process and overcome the trauma. Buzztag has donated to this non-profit several times over the years, and will continue to do so.

ABILITREE Buzztag has been a strong supporter of Abilitree throughout the years. Buzztag has not only donated money to the non-profit, but has also used some of the non-profit's members to bundle some swag items.

BEND DESIGN CONFERENCE Buzztag is a founding sponsor--along with Wild Alchemy--of Bend Design Conference. It's a two-day event for creators, designers and thinkers. Buzztag and Wild Alchemy have sponsored the journals since the non-profit was born in 2015.

MISSION LIMELIGHT Before Mission Limelight, there was Talena Barker--a non-profit fundraiser. She found a way to increase bidding on auctioned items for non-profits, and evolved it into a business. Buzztag supported her mission in helping non-profits and is inspired by her growth.
