Partnering with Evertreen to Pay It Forward

At MadeToOrder, we believe branded merchandise should do more than create visibility. It should create impact.

That belief is what led to our partnership with Evertreen—a collaboration designed to turn everyday merchandise programs into something bigger: a measurable, meaningful way to give back.

Because when merch is done thoughtfully, it doesn’t just show up. It leaves a legacy.

From Products to Purpose

Sustainability has become a priority across industries, but for many brands, the challenge isn’t intention—it’s execution. Where do you start? How do you ensure your efforts are real, trackable, and aligned with your values?

Through our partnership with Evertreen, MTO helps bridge that gap.

Evertreen works with global reforestation projects to plant trees in areas that need environmental and economic restoration. Each tree contributes to:

  • Carbon offset and climate impact reduction
  • Biodiversity restoration
  • Job creation in local farming communities
  • Long-term ecosystem health

This isn’t symbolic sustainability. It’s tangible, trackable impact.

How We Pay It Forward

Our Pay It Forward program is built directly into how we approach client partnerships.

For qualifying projects, a portion of the program is allocated to fund tree planting initiatives through Evertreen. That means every order becomes an opportunity to contribute to something beyond the immediate campaign.

Here’s what that looks like in action:

Integrated Impact
Giving back isn’t a separate initiative. It’s woven into the merchandise programs themselves—seamlessly aligning brand goals with environmental responsibility.

Measured Contribution
Clients aren’t left wondering about impact. Tree planting is tracked, documented, and tied to real-world outcomes, offering a clear story to share internally and externally.

Scalable Giving
From one-time campaigns to ongoing merchandise programs, the ability to give back grows alongside the brand.

Why it Matters

Today’s audiences are paying attention—not just to what brands say, but to what they do.

Branded merchandise sits at a unique intersection of visibility and experience. It’s something people use, keep, and interact with regularly. When that experience is paired with purpose, it creates a deeper level of connection.

It shifts the role of merch from:

  • A momentary touchpoint → to a lasting impression
  • A transactional item → to a values-driven extension of the brand
  • A giveaway → to a story worth sharing

This is where brand perception evolves.

Earth Day, Every Day

Sustainability shouldn’t be reserved for a single campaign or a moment on the calendar.

Earth Day serves as a reminder—but the real opportunity lies in building everyday actions into the way brands operate year-round.

Through our partnership with Evertreen, MTO is committed to making that shift possible. By transforming merchandise into a vehicle for impact, we help brands take part in something bigger—without adding complexity to their process.

Impact in Action

Through our partnership with Evertreen, MadeToOrder and its clients, supports reforestation projects that help restore ecosystems while creating positive impact for local communities. By turning our values into action, we are helping build a greener, more sustainable future — one tree at a time.
