Sip of Support
Providing Donations for Charitable Fundraisers and Events
About Our Sip of Support Initiative
Through Sip of Support, we assist 501(c)(3) nonprofits with swag gift bags for raffles and auctions, donations, and event sponsorships. Since 2018, we’ve contributed over $600,000 to causes ranging from local fundraisers to large-scale VT Flood Relief efforts. To request support, please complete the form at least four weeks before your event. We accept requests year-round and review them on a bi-weekly basis.
We evaluate all submissions through multiple lenses, including diversity, equity, and inclusion, along with alignment to our four giving priorities: healthy communities, food & economic security, natural resource protection, and sustainable recreation.
Nonprofit Donation and Sponsorship Request Form
Please note that our giving budget has been fully allocated for the 2026 calendar year. We will begin reviewing requests from this form again in early January, so please wait to submit until then. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to sunshine@lawsonsfinest.com
Giving Tuesday 2025
This year, we have supported 69 non-profit organizations through $100,000 Giving Tuesday donation.
35% of our donation is going directly to organizations fighting food insecurity in our state. This includes a special $10,000 donation to the Vermont Foodbank, especially important in light of recent cuts to 3SquaresVT (SNAP) benefits, which have put extra strain on food banks. Nearly 65,000 Vermonters, about 10% of the state population, rely on SNAP, many of them children, older adults, or people with disabilities.
