“The MoonShare program is an amazing program that highlights the bond between businesses and nonprofits,” said Julian Maha, founder and CEO of KultureCity—a 2015 MoonShare Grant recipient. “KultureCity is truly honored to partner with Sugarlands Distilling Company to create a world where all individuals with autism and their families can be accepted.”
In addition to the monetary award, each of the 12 organizations will be assigned a month to be featured in the “Month to Shine” series on Sugarlands Distilling Company’s website and social media platforms to help bring awareness to the cause of each MoonShare recipient.
In 2015, Sugarlands Distilling Co. donated $60,000 to nonprofit organizations across the country. Each month one organization was selected by the public to receive a $5,000 MoonShare Grant to put toward a charitable cause.
