For the 3rd instance, the author discusses lack of transparency in amount donate as Alexandra Grant lists that 100% of the profits go towards charity for some item, a portion of the profits go to charity on other item, and there are items where there is no mention of any of the profits going to charity.

The author also discusses a quote from this article where in Grant's own words, she is making claims that every time you buy something from Grantlove, you're supporting arts or art education so the author asked why are there item that does not indicate anything is being donated to charity and whether it is legal.

The quote from the article by Grant: "My dream is for the grantLOVE symbol to sort of be like the Red campaign so that you know when you’re buying something with it on there you’re supporting the arts or arts education.”

Direct quote from the blog: “The grantLOVE website is a convoluted mess where a consumer can easily get confused as to whether or not their purchase will benefit charity in any way. It is riddled with deceptive tactics. This becomes more and more evident as you examine their other means of advertisement (Instagram, Facebook, articles in magazines and papers). They contradict themselves often. This is shameful and unacceptable!!”

As always, read the blog yourself, research what has been presented.
