Give Something Back, now merged with Blaisdell's Business Products, operates in the retail office equipment industry from its base in Oakland, California. The company uses the proceeds from everyday office supply sales to support local nonprofit organizations, directing after-tax profits to chosen nonprofits through an online polling process involving its customers. Its product lineup includes copy paper, office furniture, cleaning supplies, and break-room snacks, complemented by competitive pricing and services such as free next-day delivery. Its customers are businesses of varying sizes seeking reliable office supplies while contributing to community causes through their purchases. Within the retail office equipment market, the company differentiates itself through its charitable business model and customer-driven philanthropy rather than traditional sales tactics. A notable development in its history is a partnership with Williamson College of the Trades announced in 2017, which followed an initial collaboration in 2016.
