The Problem
Our founder noticed a problem in the philanthropy space:
Smaller organizations, despite making significant direct contributions to our communities, face challenges in effectively promoting their causes. Even when they manage to raise awareness, sustaining funding becomes an even more formidable task, often relying on individual donations rather than support from large governments or corporations.
The Solution
Ish Gives mission is to find, vet, and support small-to-medium sized not-for-profits with both monetary donations and also awareness and marketing via our guitar business.
Currently Supported Charities
We have donated financial assets and labor from our staff to help build and maintain the website since 2013 for this groundbreaking supercar event which has raised over $350k for local Hudson Valley charities that support children and veterans.
We are donating a portion of the proceeds from a custom run of Warwick Dolphin bass guitars named the "Endangered Species" to help with a new extremely effective ocean cleanup initiative.
We participate in a major fundraising concert in partnership with the Bousquet Holstein law firm to help fund a local Syracuse arts center that is an anchor of the community.
Charities
We are always searching to support great charities of all kinds, but we are especially interested in organizations focused on:
- Music Education
- Ocean Cleanup
- Forestry and Sustainability
- Addiction Recovery
- Children/Young Adults
- Underserved Minority Groups
