3percentclub presents

One Hat.
One Builder.

A handmade hat can do more than keep someone warm. It can help give an emerging builder the tools, mentorship, and room to create what comes next.

The idea

Craft can become infrastructure.

Mom’s Crochet Club began with one maker, one hook, and the belief that something made by hand could fund something built for the future.

One Hat, One Builder connects each limited-run piece to practical support for a person learning, prototyping, and finding their footing in tech. The hat is the artifact. The real outcome is access.

“Every stitch holds time. This campaign turns that time into opportunity.”
