Donation & Charity Requests

We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a vibrant, caring community — and we’re honored by the number of organizations and individuals who reach out for support. In recent months, we’ve received a growing number of requests for charitable contributions, both in goods and services. While we wish we could say yes to every single one, the truth is: we’re a small, family-run business with real-world responsibilities — including kids, a mortgage, and the day-to-day expenses that come with running a creative service-based company.

Because of this, we’ve created a few simple guidelines to help manage donation requests fairly and transparently:

• Our services are not tax-deductible.
  As per IRS guidelines and our local business classification, donations made through our business do not qualify as tax-deductible contributions.
• Eligibility:
  In order for us to consider a donation request, either the requester or the organization they represent must have purchased full price services from us within the past 12 months (on a rolling basis). This helps us prioritize support for the clients and communities who support our business.
• We can’t say yes to everything — and we hope you’ll understand.
  While we truly admire the many great causes doing important work, we can only take on a limited number of donations each year. Our focus must remain on providing for our own family and sustaining the small business that supports us.

If your organization meets the criteria above, feel free to Info@ajcm.com to share your request. Please include:

• Your name and organization
• A brief summary of the cause or event
• How you’ve partnered with Birdsbill Mercantile in the past year
• The type of support you’re requesting

We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
