owning a business + donating to charities

hi!

i started a business surrounding art (specifically enamel pins) in december and i’ve grown quite a lot, with 5,000+ followers and i’ve definitely made well over $3000 with more to come.

i donate a lot of my funds to alzheimer’s research, unicef, etc. purely because i believe that others definitely need it much more than i do.

i do this because i love making pins for the musical artists i love, but i was wondering if this would help me in the application process for college. i’m currently a junior.

Your interest and talent is something that makes you uniquely you that you can possibly use in an essay, an interview, or in the activities section of the common ap. It is wonderful that you have donated your earnings but it would also be just as impressive to earn and save your money to pay for your education. Your application is a picture you paint specifically about you. This is part of your profile. Good luck!
