DONATION REQUESTS

As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we are proud to give back to our community and support a variety of charitable organizations. Each month we donate to charity through our partnership with DailyKarma.

Each year, we receive hundreds of requests for donations from worthy causes throughout the greater Kansas City metro and unfortunately, we are unable to donate to them all. 

*Please review our qualifications to ensure your organization meets our charitable giving criteria.

Charitable Giving Criteria + Notes 

  • You must provide a copy of your IRS designation letter, a copy of your fundraising letter or flyer, as well as a statement of intent on how the candles will be used (gift bag, auction item, raffle prize) and how the product will be promoted.
  • We do not make financial contributions. 
  • Donated product must be picked up. We do not ship donations. No exceptions.
