From the beginning Petals n Buds, Koshman Florist Ltd. has practiced a philosophy of giving back to its local community by donating flowers, monetary donations and or gift certificates to charities. We do this by donating any flowers which had not sold throughout the week to worthy causes and contributing monthly bouquets to support causes dear to our heart. Petals n Buds will sponsor timely thematic campaigns to support specific organizations – including the BC Cancer Foundation & Mustard Seed Family Center.
There are many great reasons to give and deserving causes to give to, in our community. Therefore to help us with this process we have outlined the following eligibility requirements. We welcome any new requests for support if you meet the three requirements listed below:
- The organization must be a registered charity– eligible to issue official tax receipts for donations– or an established not-for-profit community cause.
- The organization or cause must be located in and serving a community in which Petals n Buds operates.
- The focus and basis of the organization must be preventative rather than simply remedial.
We prefer you submit a 1000 word, hand written letter, explaining how you believe Petals n Buds can best meet your needs. Please include the following details:
- The full name of your organization, including website and email address
- Address, telephone number and contact person’s name
- Description of the specific event for which a donation is sought
- The date of the event
- Type of donation requested (product/gift certificates/monetary).
Please submit your written request at least 12 weeks prior to your event, and allow us 8 weeks to review and respond to your inquiry. Requests should be e-mailed to:
