Our philosophy about helping others is best expressed by Lucy when
she roars at Charlie Brown, "Don't just sit there, do something!"
Since its founding in 1919, Cabot has made a concerted effort to
'do something' to support worthy community causes. After all,
Cabot's farmer-owners are active members and volunteers in their
own communities. It's an important part of life in Vermont.
If you would like Cabot to support an event or organization with
a cash and/or product donation, or through advertising, we encourage
you to read on. Please carefully review the criteria to determine
whether your request meets our guidelines.
If it does, by all means fill out the Request Form and give us as
much pertinent information as necessary to make your case. As
Lucy also said when asked for details, "Facts, facts! Who needs
facts?" In this case, we do. We appreciate your interest in Cabot
Creamery Cooperative and our products, and we look forward to
reviewing your submission.
Please Note: Cabot needs a minimum of six weeks advance notice in
order to honor a request. We do not ship cheese during the months
of May through August.

Donation Requests and Event Sponsorships
Here are the criteria guidelines. Please note, only non-profit organizations qualify for monetary donations.
- The event/organization must be located in an area of the country where
Cabot products are widely available.
- The event/organization must fall into one of the following categories:
- An event compatible with cheese! Beer, wine or food-related events
are given more weight when they benefit a non-profit or similar
organization. "Taste of" events are not appropriate.
- Community-related causes, such as those that focus on families
in need, women, children, agriculture, arts, education, and disaster
relief.
- Health-related issues, primarily with a focus on diabetes, and/or
the benefits of dairy calcium. In this category, we provide product
donations only.
- Typically, Cabot does not contribute to:
Land trusts, golf tournaments (i.e. hole sponsorship, etc.),
individuals, individual classes or teams.
The Fine Print: Requests are honored on a first come, first serve basis. Please note that while your request might meet all the criteria, Cabot receives hundreds of worthy applications each year, and unfortunately it is impossible to honor them all. Organizations that have received a donation from Cabot within the last two years are less likely to be selected in order for us to help as many causes as possible. Because we are a cooperative, our first and foremost priority is to the farm families who own Cabot. Requests that provide maximum exposure to the farmers and Cabot product are given precedence.
If you believe your event/organization meets some or all of these criteria,
please click here to fill out the Request Form.
