I just asked for a general product donation for our silent auction or raffle fundraiser. I usually don't specify unless they ask, to leave a better chance for a donation or there is a specific product they have that fits in with another item or our mission.

re:tombihn - what did you ask for in the way of a donation?

Email them a donation request letter at feedback @ tombihn. com (remove spaces) . Must be a school or registered non-profit. They replied right away and shipped the item within a few days.

@susan what contact did you use for Tom Bihn?

Yeah, got Canvas on Demand again. Also tickets to LA Zoo, Angels Baseball, Walt Disney Family Museum. Gift certificates/ meal passes to Carl's Jr, Rubio's and Cheesecake Factory Gift Cards. Boulder Canyon snacks sent a gift basket w/ gluten free snacks and Tom Bihn bags sent us a nice bag.

@Gail: Things I have seen work in most places are things like Zoos, Museums and local attractions.

Local Big Box stores also tend to give out GC's every month.
