Gifting for non-profits, think tanks, and associations
Organizations are driven by mission, vision, and purpose—and their gifting should reflect those ideals. Whether thanking donors, honoring leadership and heroes, or commemorating milestones and achievements, meaningful gifting should go beyond the generic and expected. Our approach ensures the spirit, values, and story of each organization are thoughtfully honored, allowing recipients to immediately recognize the care, intention, and craftsmanship behind every gift.
For more than 40 years, we have been trusted by nonprofits, think tanks, and associations of all kinds to create elegant, purpose-driven gifts that reflect institutional values and leave a lasting impression..

Aluminum Forge Dish
Our American-made bespoke dishes are enduring corporate gifts designed to celebrate an organization’s legacy. In the example shown, a leading think tank marked its 50th anniversary with a custom dish presented to stakeholders, donors, and leadership. Functional yet highly displayable, each piece transitions seamlessly between daily use and elegant presentation in the home or office.
Our Approach
All gifting projects for think tanks and associations are personally guided by Keith Lipert and Adam Lipert. We begin by understanding the organization’s mission, audience, occasion, and constraints, then develop thoughtful gift concepts drawn from our roster of artists and makers whose work aligns with the ideas being advanced. From initial concepts and mockups through production, presentation, and delivery, each project is carefully managed to ensure gifts feel appropriate, meaningful, and aligned with the organization’s purpose—delivered on time and on budget, with attention given to every detail.
America’s 250th Anniversary
Many of these think tank, non-profit, and association gifts can be thoughtfully adapted as commemorative corporate gifts for America’s 250th Anniversary, recognizing contributions, partnerships, and service tied to this historic milestone.
