Donations
HOW WE GIVE
The majority of our giving has been through our One Percent for Rabun County Initiative. This does not mean we won’t be able to donate to your event or fundraiser. However, we want to be as up front as possible as 95% of our donations in our local community have been through this program. This has allowed us to be strategic and impactful with the limited funds that we do have as a small business.
This is not to sound like a guilt trip, but we get 15-20 requests a week from across the state, region, and beyond and saying yes to every request is nearly impossible. Even if we only gave $50 to every request we get a week, it would add up to over $35,000+ a year. As a small business, that would be well over 50-75% of our gross profit for the year.
We love giving back in our local community and are proud that we have contributed over $200,000 in 10 short years. But we are trying to be strategic, hyper local, laser focused and impactful with the limited resources we do have.
If we are able to make a donation, we will follow-up directly based on the information entered below within 48 hours. We don’t respond to every request so if you do not receive follow-up then it means we were unable to meet your request. However, we wish you the best of luck with your event or fundraiser!
We ask that you please answer the following questions as thoroughly as possible so that we can make an informed and timely decision. Please submit all requests at least 2 weeks prior to the date needed.
