**PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR DONATION**
Since 1976, Rising Tide Market has been devoted to community organizations and initiatives that promote the causes nearest to our hearts.
In recent years, the volume of requests we are receiving from the community has grown exponentially. Our standard donation for community groups/events is a nominal gift card.
As part of our mission, we will give active support to groups that fall into the following categories:
- Children’s Education
- Food Security
- Environmental Awareness and Education
- Organic and Sustainable Farming
- Animal Welfare
We try to fulfill as many donation requests as possible, and we ask you to please acknowledge our donation as best you can through your organization, to your members, and during your event.
We only accept donation requests from non-profit organizations headquartered in Glen Cove and the surrounding area. Donation requests may only be made through this online form; no requests will be accepted by phone or in the store.
Please note: We have a monthly donation budget which precludes us from fulfilling every donation request we receive.
If your Request for Donation is approved, you will receive an email with pick-up instructions. Your request will receive an email response within 30 days. After that time, you may reach out for a status update at marketing@risingtidemarket.com.
If you would like to apply to be our Charity of the Month, please email marketing@risingtidemarket.com.
We are extremely proud of our Charity of the Month program that was initiated with a focus on sustainability and community investment. Since the program was launched on Earth Day 2017, we’ve raised over $32,000 for the amazing charities in our local area, at the same time changing habits and raising awareness about the use of paper bags.
Each month our Bring-Your-Own-Bag program is linked to a local charity (look for the sign behind the register for a description for the current month, or check our social media). To raise the funds to donate, we charge $.10 for each paper bag we give out. The goal? To reduce the number of paper bags we use by half.
Our BYOB donations not only help Charities of the Month to continue to thrive and meet their own goals – they also allow us to meet the people behind the charities, and to learn more about the exciting work going on in our own backyard. A great big thank you to all those folks that work to serve the neediest members of our community!
Due to the enormity of requests we receive for this program, we confine our collaboration to organizations that center on children’s education, food security, environmental awareness, and animal welfare only. Please make sure your nonprofit fits into one or more of these categories before applying and be as specific as possible about what the funds would be used for. We partner with nonprofits in our immediate area only to keep our community investment hyper-local. Thank you.
