Strong small businesses
make strong communities.
We've been part of the Southern Tier community for 30 years, and we love to help. We used to write checks, but that got boring, and we realized we could make a much bigger difference by giving what we do best: our services, our products and our time.
That's why our sponsorships are in-kind. Our roots are in the Southern Tier, but most of our work is nationwide, and so is our support: nonprofits, events, teams and causes, plus small businesses that could use a hand, wherever they are.
A few ways we can help.
Pick whichever fits your organization. Each one notes who it's for.

What's a slap sticker?
A slap is a die-cut sticker printed on laminated vinyl. The size and shape are custom, cut to fit your design, and each one peels off a printed backing card, ready for a car, laptop, water bottle or guitar case. They're waterproof and dishwasher safe, so they stay put for years.
Hand them out at games and events, tuck them into orders or leave a stack on the counter. Every one becomes a small, long-lasting ad for your organization.
Why free? The backing card carries a promotion from us, so your stickers spread the word for both of us. That's how we like to give back: in a way that works for everyone and keeps us able to say yes to the next group. If you have a Muckles Rally, we print a link to your store on the card too.
- Up to 500 free, custom sized and shaped
- Peels off a printed backing card
- Laminated vinyl, waterproof and dishwasher safe
- Every Muckles Rally gets free slaps, with a link to the store on the card
Slaps as we deliver them: rally stickers for Revenants and Showcase Events with a scan-to-shop QR code, and a sponsored Lost Dog Café & Lounge sticker with Muckles Ink and CPR coupons.
Tell us what's slowing you down.
Plenty of nonprofits run on a dated website, a stack of spreadsheets and a lot of volunteer hours. We're happy to consider donating our web platform, our time or both, so you can reach more people and spend less of your day on admin.
Every request is different. Tell us what you're trying to solve and we'll see how we can help. Web platforms are often free for the first year.
We have a particular soft spot for animal and children's charities.
