Submitting Donation Request
I work for a non-profit 501c3 organization that provides after school care including homework assistance to children in grades K-8. Many low-income children in the community need after school care but their families can not afford it. By receiving grants, donations and through various Fundraisers we are able to provide our services on a sliding fee scale so parents only pay what they can afford. Due to major funding cuts Schalorship Funds for low-income families are depleting. Therefore, we are planning a major fundraiser that will include a slient auction.
My question is: Is there a specific way to go about submitting a request for a donation of an Ipad or Ipod? Is this something that must go through corperate or can local stores use their discretion in donating such items?
