10 % of every sale for Independent Media & Story Platforms 

Why This Matters

In an age of misinformation, controlled narratives, and shrinking budgets for honest stories, independent media platforms are essential guardians of truth and diversity of voices. As a visual storyteller, I have witnessed how unchecked narratives can silence entire communities. Contributing 10 % of every sale is my concrete response to this crisis: an effort to support the multiplicity of perspectives, root storytelling within communities, and invest in the shared ecosystem that enables us as storytellers to uphold and thrive on our core values.

How the 10 % Commitment Works

  1. Immediate Allocation – As soon as a purchase is processed, 10 % of the gross amount (before taxes and shipping) is earmarked and transferred into a dedicated account.

  2. Semiannual Pooling – Funds are pooled every six months to maximise their impact and ensure a transparent, well-paced disbursement cycle.

  3. Partner Selection – At the end of each 6-month period, I will publish on my website and social media a list of selected independent media platforms or initiatives. Selection is based on the following criteria:

    • Operate independently of corporate or state control;

    • Prioritise local and under-reported narratives;

    • Uphold strong ethics, transparency, and fact-checking standards;

    • Clearly express a need for funding (active donation campaigns, open calls, etc.).

  4. Transfer & Verification – Donation receipts will be made publicly available after funds are disbursed, in the interest of full transparency.

Your Role & How You Can Engage

  • Buy consciously. Every print, zine, or workshop spot you purchase not only helps to support my work but also immediately strengthens independent storytelling.

  • Join. the mailing list (sent every 6 months) to keep being informed about your support and know what else is happening and how you can stay engaged!

  • Suggest initiatives. Know a newsroom that fits our criteria? Email suggestions to contact@clearekhou.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 10 % calculated?
It’s 10 % of the gross sale price, before VAT/taxes and shipping.

Are donations tax‑deductible for customers?
No, the gift originates from my business revenue. You may download the 6-month report as proof of impact, but it cannot be claimed as your personal charitable donation.

What if a customer is refunded?
Returned‑item revenue is subtracted from the next quarter’s fund to keep the 10 % ratio accurate.

How do you ensure recipients are independent?
We verify ownership structures, funding sources, editorial policies, and legal registrations, and we favour organisations with transparent governance.
