We believe in the power of a good scoop—and a good cause.
Each year, we partner with local schools and community organizations to support causes that matter, particularly education. As a family-run business, we’re especially proud to support initiatives that uplift students, families, and the communities we serve.
We take on a few larger partnerships annually, but Spirit Nights are our favorite way to help anyone in the community turn ice cream into impact.
how we give back.
Simple moments. Lasting joy.
At Gelati Celesti, giving back is part of the joy we serve. We’re not a big company with a corporate giving program. We're a local family business that cares deeply about our community and chooses to give intentionally.
Here’s how we focus our efforts:
Education-First Partnerships
Schools hold a special place in our hearts. We prioritize fundraisers and collaborations that support students, teachers, and the families who cheer them on.
SPIRIT NIGHTS
A fun, easy way for any school or group to raise funds. We host the night, you spread the word, and we donate 20% of sales back to your organization.
Seasonal give-backs
A few times a year, we create special flavors or events tied to local causes, like our LemonAid flavor supporting pediatric cancer research. These are limited and planned well in advance.
Let’s Make It a Good Fit
Thoughtful giving.
Local impact.
We review every request with care and honesty. As a small team, we can’t say yes to everything, but we can show up fully when the fit is right.
We prioritize partnerships that:
-
Support education, families, or youth well-being
-
Align with our values and local community focus
-
Allow time to plan and collaborate thoughtfully
If that sounds like your event or organization, we’d love to hear more!
