At Anna Sheffield Fine Jewelry, inclusion and giving back to those in need has always been not only important to us, but a central part of our brand DNA.We are a small team of 20+ employees, consisting of all ages, races and genders. As a female-founded, female-led business, we are proud that 20% of our team identifies as BIPOC, most within our Senior leadership teams. We not only organically, but actively seek to continue building a diverse team.Additionally, our charitable efforts serve a broad array of organizations from grassroots and community-based initiatives to larger national funding – be it through volunteering or donation-based contributions from both our business and team.For us, giving back is an "always on" approach that ranges from driving change in our industry to being involved in a meaningful way with our communities.

With more than 1.5 million members, nearly 300 staff attorneys, thousands of volunteer attorneys, and offices throughout the nation, the ACLU of today continues to fight government abuse and to vigorously defend individual freedoms including speech and religion, a woman’s right to choose, the right to due process, citizens’ rights to privacy and much more.✦ Minnesota Freedom Fund – The Minnesota Freedom Fund pays criminal bail and immigration bond for those who cannot afford to as we seek to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing.✦ Trans Justice Funding Project – The Trans Justice Funding Project is a community-led funding initiative founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people.✦ Fair Fight – Fair Fight promotes fair elections in Georgia and around the country, encourage voter participation in elections, and educate voters about elections and their voting rights.RIGHT NOW: In light of most recent developments in our society around the Black Lives Matter movement and continued racial injustices, Anna Sheffield has taken time to reflect, listen, learn, support, and now to amplify resources and efforts in the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Now we’re calling on you to join us. Read more in ‘The Time is Now’ on our Journal.
