Giving Back to the Community
The Glass Onion is a big believer in giving back to and supporting the local community any way they can. The main focus is on the West Ashley neighborhood where the restaurant in located. We also focus on helping local charities with monthly charity feature drinks.

Corporate Giving Guidelines
In addition to our ongoing philanthropic efforts, The Glass Onion has an in-kind donation program, designed to benefit specific fundraising events. Each month, The Glass Onion donates gift certificates to various organizations for use as auction items, door prizes, etc. If you are interested in submitting a donation request, we ask that you follow the process as outlined below.
All donation requests must be submitted in writing via email. Please submit all requests at least four weeks prior to your event. Requests are reviewed on a monthly basis, and donations are made by the 15th of the month prior to the event date. Because of the number of requests we receive, we are unable to accept phone requests. All requests will receive a response by email. Please realize that priority will be given to charitable organizations.
The Glass Onion asks that donation requests contain the following information:
