Donation Request Guidelines

At Micro Plant Studio, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We are proud to contribute to initiatives that foster creativity, empower young people in the Boston area, beautify our shared spaces, and promote education. To streamline our giving efforts and ensure impactful partnerships, we have established the following donation request guidelines:

We primarily consider donation requests that align with our mission and values. Priority is given to programs or projects that fall within these categories:

  • Arts & Culture: Projects that promote artistic expression, public art installations, cultural festivals, or support local artists.

  • Youth Development: Programs that support mentoring, leadership, life skills, sports, and after-school activities for children and teens.

  • Community Beautification: Initiatives such as park cleanups, murals, community gardens, and neighborhood improvement efforts.

  • Educational Programming: Efforts that enhance learning opportunities, including literacy programs, STEM initiatives, school supply drives, and workshops.

Organizations must meet the following criteria to be considered:

  • Be a registered nonprofit, school, or community group.

  • Serve the local community in which our business operates.

  • Demonstrate a clear and measurable impact.

  • Not affiliated with political campaigns or religious proselytizing efforts.

We offer support in various forms, depending on the needs of the organization and our available resources:

  • In-kind donations (products, gift cards, services)

  • Monetary sponsorships (limited, based on budget)

  • Promotional support (highlighting your event through our channels)

  • Volunteer support (our staff helping at your event)


Thank You

We are honored to play a small role in the incredible work being done in our community. Thank you for considering Micro Plant Studio as a potential partner in your efforts.

 

Review & Notification

We review donation requests twice a year, in January and June. While we would love to support every cause, due to the volume of requests and our limited budget, we may be unable to fulfill all donation requests. We appreciate your understanding.

If your request is approved, you will be contacted in December for the January cycle and in May for the June cycle.  Approximately two projects are supported within each six months.
