5% for the Community

Because every act of inclusion deserves recognition

Our Commitment to the Community

At Kartus.Club, we know that real change comes from the concrete actions of our community. Every time an organization, club, rehabilitation center, or even a passionate individual facilitates access to a Kartus trial, they plant a seed that can transform a life.

That’s why we created the Community Recognition Initiative.

How It Works?

5% to Grow Good

When a person, family, or organization purchases a Kartus after being able to try it thanks to your facilitation, we donate 5% of the purchase price to the local organization or foundation of your choice.

Simple Conditions

  • You facilitated access to a Kartus trial (loan, organization, connection, etc.)
  • The trial led to a purchase within 12 months
  • Kartus is informed at the time of purchase
  • Maximum 5% per Kartus sold (non-cumulative)
  • The beneficiary organization must be local and non-profit

Real Examples

  • A rehabilitation center lends their Kartus for a weekend → User purchases afterward → 5% goes to the center’s foundation
  • A running club organizes a discovery day → A participant places an order → 5% goes to the club’s chosen organization
  • An individual owner lets their neighbor try their Kartus → Purchase confirmed → 5% goes to their chosen organization

Why This Initiative?

The Heart of Our Mission

As highlighted in our manifesto, the heart of Kartus isn’t the chair, but the community behind it that cares for others. This initiative recognizes that:

  • Inclusion is built together: Every facilitated trial is an act of inclusion that deserves recognition
  • Community nourishes community: This 5% stays in your local ecosystem to continue doing good
  • The butterfly effect matters: A simple loan can trigger a transformation that goes far beyond the purchase

A Broader Vision

This initiative is part of our vision of a more inclusive society where access to the outdoors is no longer a privilege but a right. By rewarding those who open doors, we encourage a virtuous circle of mutual aid and solidarity.

Practical Questions

How is Kartus Informed?

At the time of your order on kartus.ca, simply mention who facilitated your trial and which organization should receive the 5% recognition.

Which Organizations Are Eligible?

Any local non-profit organization: foundations, community centers, sports clubs, charitable associations, etc.

Can I Designate Multiple Organizations?

No, to avoid administrative complexity, only one organization can be designated per purchase.

Is This Initiative Retroactive?

No, this initiative applies only to trials facilitated after its implementation. We are eternally grateful to our founding members who initiated this movement and created the foundation of this supportive community.

The Collective Impact

Imagine the cumulative effect: every facilitated trial, every purchase that follows, every 5% that returns to the local community. We’re not just creating access to the outdoors, we’re weaving a network of solidarity that strengthens with each gesture.

The revolution goes through community. It rewards itself through community too.
