Ultimate Donation List

Hi all.....

I am not associated with a PTO or PTA, but rather with an autism nonprofit in the Chattanooga, TN area. Thus the following that will be posted may or may not apply to you. You will need to go to each business's website and determine what works best for your situation. I received the majority of my donations from the tri-state area of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. Even with everything listed below, I didn't have the time to all the donations I wanted for this event. On record, I received in excess of $6,000 in donations.

Note that I went to local businesses as well - gift cards often worked best with their donations. I am copying and pasting from an Excel spreadsheet (which I recommend everyone to use or Google Sheets [which is cloud software you can access anywhere]). Thus, the formatting may be far from the greatest with some items I received.

Also, if you're doing a PTO/PTA fundraising, you might want to see if your school can put something on ClassDojo (that parents can sign up for, and I do with my grandchildren's schools - you can get it as an app from the iStore).

Lastly, when possibly wanting to get a donation from a business, go to its website and find out what the policies are with donations (if there is a website).

Thanks, Scott

I have been contacting Nikon for years trying to get a donation from them. I always get a no very quickly. I have asked around and found the same answer to this question from others as well. I find its not worth my time to go through their hoops anymore.

has anyone ever received a donation from Nikon? I know they require a 6-month lead time so I sent myself a reminder to do this when we're 6 months out from our event. Their "no" was pretty quick, I just wondered if they uniformly denied PTAs and schools across the board or if some of you have received positive contributions in the past?
