Thank you for requesting a charitable contribution from Crate and Barrel. All contributions from Crate and Barrel are made through our Community Relations Department at our Corporate Headquarters. Below are the guidelines for any contributions:
Qualifying donations may be made to schools, churches, hospitals and 501C3 charitable organizations for fundraising auctions or raffles. No donations will be made to individuals, clubs, political causes or organizations raising money for causes outside of our stores' market areas.
All donations are made in the form of Gift Cards - stores do not provide any merchandise.
Requests must be made at least three weeks prior to the event date and will be sent from our Corporate Office.
We receive numerous donation requests annually which makes it almost impossible to provide donations to organizations for two consecutive years. Therefore, we request that you wait at least one year after receiving a gift card before requesting another.
All requests must be in writing and submitted via mail or fax to:
Crate and Barrel

I did the exact same thing. I put the necklace, case, acrylic stand, invoice and care kit in a large cello bag for all to see in our auction. The necklace received a lot of attention. I started our bidding at $75, and we did well with it!
Yes, definitely send back the acrylic stand. They were a great company to work with!

I sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. About a week later I got an email asking for the address to send the donation and 501c3 number (not the tax id #) I had to get that from our school. I've been using the tax id in all of my correspondence. If you want to skip the extra email, I would add that to your letter. Good luck!
