Giving Back
Big Green Egg is on a mission to gather friends, families and neighbors to experience the joy of cooking over live fire.
Big Green Egg's Mission
We’ve spent 50 years witnessing how food brings people together—across backyards, around tables, and in communities in more than 50 countries. From one grill to millions worldwide, we’ve seen the power of a shared meal to create lasting connections and unforgettable moments. Cooking on a Big Green Egg nurtures bonds, sparks conversations, and builds stronger, more vibrant communities.
Through live-fire cooking, we’ve seen how food fosters joy and togetherness. That’s why we’re proud to support causes that bring these same experiences to life in new and meaningful ways. Giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are. Our employees and partners take pride in knowing they’re part of a company that makes a real difference.
These focus areas are the foundation of how we turn our mission into action, ensuring that more people can experience the joys of food and connection:
- Promoting Access to Healthy, Local Food, Including in Moments of Crisis
- Gathering and/or Teaching Through Food
- Supporting Sustainable Food Systems
Our Donation Process
We’re excited to partner with organizations that share our passion for bringing people together through food and community. Each year, we receive many donation and sponsorship requests, and we carefully review each one to ensure we’re making a meaningful impact.
If you’re requesting a donation, here’s what we’ll need to know:
Does your organization have a food-related focus?

How will your organization use the Big Green Egg?
