Our Donations
At Gladius, we believe every fighting glove tells a story. Each piece is more than hand protection, it’s a symbol of who you are and the stories that drive you to keep fighting.
We take pride in crafting gloves with meaning, inspired by the rich tapestry of history, nature, culture, mythology, and the extraordinary figures that shape our world. As great storytellers and seekers of inspiration, we understand how vital it is to preserve these sources of wonder.
Our gloves wouldn’t exist without these inspirations, and we’re committed to ensuring they endure for generations. We want our kids, grandkids, and future generations to feel the same awe we do when they see these inspirations and to draw on their power and meaning for their own fighting gloves.
That's why $2 from every purchase goes to organizations dedicated to preserving the legacy behind each design

How the donations work?
At the end of each year, Gladius calculates $2 from every model sold and makes a single donation to the corresponding organization in December. This yearly approach ensures the transfer process is efficient and that the donations are substantial enough to make an immediate impact.
💡 For example: if 10,000 Gladiator gloves were sold in the year, Parco Archeologico del Colosseo would receive a one-time $20,000 donation in December.
How do you choose the organization?
Each Gladius glove is inspired by something extraordinary—whether it’s history, mythology, culture, or natural wonders. We carefully select organizations that share our passion for preserving the legacy behind that inspiration and are actively working to protect it.
With thousands of organizations often dedicated to the same cause, we aim to be as fair as possible. We prioritize groups where we believe our donations can have the most significant and transparent impact, ensuring our contributions truly make a difference.
