Donation Requests

The Vivian Howard Restaurant group is committed to serving our community by supporting organizations doing good work. Due to the volume of requests, all requests must be made using the Donation Request Form below.

Requests are reviewed on a monthly basis and must be submitted at least 6 - 8 weeks prior to the event to be considered. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests submitted less than 6 weeks in advance.

Due to the high volume of requests received, we are unable to confirm the status of requests or receipt of requests by telephone. Only approved requests will be contacted following the donation form submission. Although we are honored to receive many charitable requests, we are not able to support them all.

The Vivian Howard Restaurant Group has established guidelines for product donations that follow the IRS tax guidelines. All tax information must meet our requirements before they can be considered for a donation. The organization receiving the donation must be a nonprofit and charitable organization and provide a copy of their Federal Tax Exempt Certificate, 501(c) (3). 

Specifically, our corporate giving guidelines do not permit us to donate to the following:

  • Annual Conferences/Conventions

  • Individual Gifting

  • Intermediary Donations

  • School Incentive/Reward Programs

  • Political Parties, Associations & Representatives of Advocacy Groups

  • Organizations that Discriminate by Race, Creed, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Age, Religion or National Origin, or Disability

  • Religious Organizations, Churches and Programs that are Purely Denominational in Purpose

  • Research Projects

Please note:

  • All donation/sponsorship request forms must be completed in full or will not be considered.

  • The Vivian Howard Restaurant Group participates in a limited number of monetary sponsorships. The majority of donations granted are for Deep Run Roots book donations, Vivian Howard Sauces and Rubs, or Gift Certificates.
