Which companies will donate items or money to a good cause? best (and most complete) answer 10 points?

• i am trying to get items and/or money to support the well station santa. every christmas, he sets up a little house for kids to come and tell him what they want from santa. he has an earpiece under his beard and the kids parents stand in a little house with a two way mirror. they talk into the microphone and tell "santa" things about their kids so he can talk to them about it. he also holds a food drive so he can feed families. last year, he fed about 75 families. this man is wonderful, and i wanted to make a fundraiser for him. could someone PLEASE tell me some companies that will donate items or money? (no food because it doesn't start until the week before christmas. i don't want the food to go bad.) thank ya'll in advance for helping me get money and food for him. thank you also for helping tons of families around memphis!

• Answer:

  All companies. Just search the web for corporate offices. Then click on the Community Service dept. Get the name and requirements for requests. Usually a company wants the nonprofit organization to use their letterhead with the tax exempt number included. State your request, what the items are used for and who benefits. If you do not have a registered nonprofit and seek one out. Ask a church, Scout troop, Rotary or Knights of Columbus to partner up with you and have them send the requests. It takes 3 to 4 months to start receiving donated items. Remember to send a thank you not immediately for any donations. keep a mailing list to use for next year.
