community — a partner event

Partnering with purpose

Community Partnerships & Donation Requests

We support opportunities that create real impact through education, community, and shared experience — prioritizing clear alignment and mutual value.

What we look for

We prioritize partnerships with

We receive a high volume of donation and partnership requests, and focus our support on opportunities aligned with our mission of hands-on education, youth development, and meaningful community engagement.

  • Youth-focused organizations and schools
  • Caregiver-centered organizations that support caregivers and their care recipients
  • Programs centered on education, life skills, and wellness
  • Communities that engage families in meaningful ways
  • Opportunities with potential for ongoing collaboration

We’re especially interested in partnerships where our experiences create real value for participants — not just a one-time contribution.

What we offer

Depending on alignment and availability

  • Limited, partial in-kind donations (selectively awarded)
  • Youth culinary experiences
  • Collaborative partnerships and custom activations

Whenever possible, we aim to build relationships that extend beyond a single event.

A note on silent auctions

We’d love to do more than donate

We get a lot of requests to contribute a class or gift card toward silent auctions — and when the fit is right, we’re glad to. But wherever we can, we’d rather create a bigger win for your cause: host a private cooking experience for your group (4–12 guests) and donate a majority of the proceeds back to your organization.

It raises more than a single auction item, it’s a genuinely memorable evening, and it’s the kind of real, mutual partnership we’re always looking for. When a silent-auction donation is truly what you need, we still consider those case by case — just let us know in your request below.
