Giving Back to Martha’s Vineyard

Martha’s Vineyard is at the heart of everything we create.

The landscapes, the community, and the quiet moments that inspire each candle are all shaped by this Island. It felt important that Katama Candle Company find a way to give something meaningful back.

Beginning in 2026, 10% of every candle sold will be donated to local nonprofit organizations working to support, protect, and strengthen the Martha’s Vineyard community.

Each candle in our collection is paired with a specific organization, creating a direct connection between the scents inspired by the Island and the people and places that help sustain it.

A Small Way to Give Back

Katama Candle Company began as a way to capture the feeling of Martha’s Vineyard through scent.

This initiative is a way to ensure that each candle does a little more by supporting the organizations that care for the Island, its people, and its future.

Thank you for being part of it.
