Sorry about that. I actually just reposted from the other forum. I'll update as I try each one of them for my spring auction.

Great list. but some of your links don't work. Could you check and repost?
11 years 2 months ago - 10 years 3 months ago #162275 by CLTGoodWife
Several people have mentioned starting a clean thread to list the ultimate donation list. Here's the list from the original Ultimate Donation list. Please add any that you've had success with.

THE LIST WAS CHECKED AND REORGANIZED BY CATEGORY ON 9/17/2013

*** Send corrections or updates ONLY to savingwithmomsense@gmail.com***

Many have emailed me just to say thanks, but I can't take ANY of the credit. I found this thread just like you have about a two years ago and just want to keep it out there as an AWESOME resource for volunteers.****

* Description of how a product donation would be used (ex. raffle, silent auction, etc.)
FYI RE: Donations for Stampin' Up got this response "In the past, we have been honored and able to contribute to almost all donation requests for many worthwhile causes. Unfortunately, due to the volume of donation requests Stampin' Up! now receives, we are now unable to approve more than one request per organization or per person every two years. Because our records show that we have already donated to your organization within the past year we are unable to contribute to your organization again at this time."
