Just wondering if anyone else had trouble with Red Box? I've gotten hundreds of donations without an issue and they came back saying they couldn't verify our tax Id #.
I asked them if that was actually the reason we were denied and they said yes. I have never heard of anyone else having this problem.
Hi! I am in New Jersey and we just received an unsolicited donation of 3- $500 certificates for various photography services from a photographer in North Jersey. He said he saw us on Tricky Tray.com. Has anyone in Jersey ever heard of/used this photographer? His name is David "Duke" Derex. We did some internet searches, and I have 2 photographer friends looking into him......my raffle is this Friday so I need info NOW! LOL
I'm the chairperson for a non-profit group fundraiser out of West Texas, and I just wanted to say that this forum has already been a huge help for me. Thanks to all that have contributed.
Here's my own list so far, a month into collecting.
Yes
- Dallas Stars Foundation (Unknown yet, will send 1-2 weeks before)
- Disney Land (Four Disneyland Resort One Day Park Hopper Tickets)
- PinkCalyx ($50 Gift Certificate)
- RedBox (25 DVD promo codes)
- Several local businesses
No
- Joan Rivers' website (Won't support any more charities, although they seem to send out autographed pictures all the time according to fanmai.)
- Lego Foundation
- Limited Brands
- Ski Taos
- Thirty-One Gives
Considering our event is not until August, I figure this is a pretty good start, and I have around 40-50 more that I'm waiting responses on. Most of those I found online, so I definitely recommend searching Google, Bing, and Yahoo for "(Your City or State) Donation Requests". I found more if I added in certain words, like Restaurant or Team, I'd get new options.
