Our Mission

It’s adorable when kids are selling stuff...

… and especially great when the money is going to support schools. But you may ask yourself, “Why can’t these cute kids be selling stuff I would like to buy?” From the belly of these conflicting feelings, Close Buy Catalog™ was born.

Maine is rich with beautiful, wholesome, delicious and useful products. This catalog has gathered some of Maine’s best goodies together in an effort to raise money for schools, support local businesses and artisans, and teach kids about responsible business practices.

Our mission is to create a healthy, sustainable fundraising system that benefits the whole community.

Close Buy Catalog is a school fundraising medium of a new sort.

We offer an easy way to get some holiday shopping done without getting in the car or buying from faraway places. As an added bonus, you are not supporting any yucky things like sweat shop labor or excessive pollution from overseas shipping.

Close Buy Catalog welcomes your feedback. Please email us at info@closebuycatalog.com to share your thoughts.
