That's been our goal since our beginning in 1972. In the years since, we have been proud to support non-profit organizations that improve the quality of life in our community.

Our Giving Guidelines
Stash Tea typically donates tea, tea accessories, gift baskets, or gift certificates redeemable in our mail order catalog or in our Tigard-based retail store.

Requests must be submitted in writing. You may submit a request by completing our application form that is listed below or use the PDF version. Please sign and mail it to the address provided. Requests should be submitted 60 to 90 days before the donation is needed. If you do not use our form, the request must be submitted on your organization's letterhead with all of the information included.

We are proud of our Oregon roots and as a result, the majority of our corporate giving goes to:

• the communities where our employees live and work, and
• eligible organizations within Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We consider donations outside these areas as our resources allow.

Stash Tea receives many donation requests, and we review all of them. We wish that we could accommodate all those who contact us for donations, but we are not able to do so. Due to the number of requests we receive, ineligible organizations may not receive responses.

We look for programs that encourage the following:
Health: promote health and wellness.
Youth: encourage academic and artistic achievement.
The Arts: enrich opportunites for cultural experiences.
The Environment: increase awareness of responsible environmental practices.

Eligible organizations must be a non-profit with tax-exempt status under IRS section 501(c)(3) or a public service organization or institution (public schools are included). Political and religious organizations are not eligible except in the case of nonsectarian social service organizations.
