The Jar

The Jar

We welcome your nominations for The Jar!

Here are the rules: it has to be local and it has to be a genuine, registered non-profit (example: The Memphis Humane Society is fine; the Memphis Buy Kat a New Bike Foundation is not).

We can’t do all of them, but please make a nomination by filling out this form and sending it to 5101 Sanderlin #114, Memphis, TN 38117.

There are a lot of organizations in town doing a lot of hard work to make this unique and fabulous city a better place to live and work. They range from beautification and restoration to rehabilitation and healing.

We do not accept tips for our service; instead, the staff votes on a different non-profit each month to receive the proceeds of our ROCWPC Jar. Changers of Memphis, we salute you with our icing covered spatulas and hope our small contributions may help out. Hip hip hooray!

In-kind and Auction Donations

We also participate in charity auctions and events by donating gift-certificates and/or baked goods for an event. Please fill out the non-profit donation request on the right and get it back to us; please feel free to include a brochure or other materials describing the organization and the event so we have information on the organization when we vote on where our dollars go.

Please keep in mind that we get over 50 requests each month (especially during the fundraising season of February-April) and while we wish we could honor every request, we simply don’t have the big budget that a larger company might.

We typically make our commitments at least a month in advance, so we ask that you get your application to us at least two or three months prior to the event.
Thanks!
