Way to Support Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid
Proceeds will go directly to our relief and advocacy efforts. Under our fiscal sponsorship agreement, all checks must be made to the New Sun Rising, with Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid in the check memo.
PARTNER WITH PRWA
We often collaborate with other non-profit organizations who share similar missions and shareholder communities. Partnerships can include co-hosted programming, joint fundraising campaigns, advocacy, and resource sourcing and distribution.
IN-KIND DONATIONS
Purchase Items from our Target Registry
We maintain a registry with Target that contains specifically requested and often needed items for our recipients’ emergency needs. Our current registry can be found here: http://www.target.com/gift-registry/gift/PRWAWinterCare
Product Donations for our Care Packages
We are always seeking donations of perishable and non-perishable groceries, cleaning products, baby care items, pet food and litter, which are distributed directly to our care recipients. All prepared food donations must come directly from a Health Department certified commercial kitchen, and arrive properly chilled. We unfortunately can not accept hot food or home prepared food items.
Product donations for raffle or auction
Your product will be featured as items in raffles or auctions that directly support our programs.

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
$2,500+ - SPONSOR A MATCH CAMPAIGN. You or your business will be published as a contributor for a campaign to match donations to one of our ongoing fundraising streams (IOBY, GoFundMe, New Sun Rising, etc.). This campaign can run for a single day or for a longer duration, depending on the size of your donation. Match funds greatly increase smaller donations, as they help folks see the value of even a modest contribution, and let the general public know that our mission is supported by a wider community. Your company name and logo will be displayed in our marketing material during the duration of your match campaign.
$10,000+ - Our community will curate and present a live streamed experience for your company or guests. Events can include Happy Hour cocktail classes, cooking demos, wine tastings, or other food and beverage focused educational activities. In addition, your company name and logo can appear on our list of sponsors.
