Screens For Good

$334,000 Raised For Charity

Dirty Coast has always strived to make shirts and other products that unite our city through local pride and shared identity. Our Screens For Good program gives us a chance to bring visibility to our community partners, allowing their missions to be amplified through the simple vehicle of a t-shirt. Since we've launched, we've been lucky to get to work with over 100 local organizations, small businesses, and creatives. Thank you in advance for your support.

All purchases from this collection support these local organizations' fundraising efforts and most importantly bring awareness to their causes. Become a public advocate for these great organizations.

We strive to create t-shirts that transcend the laundry pile.

Our designs aspire to a higher standard than mere recognition, tribalism, or kitsch. At their best, our shirts stoke nostalgia, spark conversation, and make people laugh. They elicit knowing nods at your neighborhood bar and hearty “who dats” in foreign airports.

We make t-shirts because they’re democratic, both in appeal and in execution: everyone wears them, and anyone can make them.

At Dirty Coast, we believe they can be civic-minded too. We are always looking for local partners we can support with a t-shirt. Fundraising tool and conversation starter, a well made shirt is a walking billboard and the wearer the spokesperson.
