Thank you for including Bob's Discount furniture in your
fundraising efforts. We try to honor as many requests for donations as
possible. Our Foundation can only accept requests from 501 (c) (3)
not for profit organizations. Additionally, because of the volume
of requests we receive, it takes a minimum of 60 days to process
requests. Be sure your event is at least 60 days away from the date of
your request.
Individual Sponsorships:
In the interest
of expanding the range of individuals we help, we do our best to provide
corporate sponsorships to organizations that fit within our mission. At this time we do not provide individual sponsorships.
Individual requests for a needy person or family:
Bob's cannot deal
directly with a client. Clients are asked to seek the sponsorship of a
non profit organization. These non profit organizations write a letter
of request on behalf of the needy individual or family. Bob's supplies
Gift Cards to offset the cost of furniture for these clients.
Agencies:
The request must
be on agency letterhead and include a contact person's name, a return
address, and a phone number. A copy of your agency's Federal Tax
Determination letter is also required. We are required to have the
support documentation on file. Requests will not be honored without
this letter. Also, please give your client a code name so that you
will know who the Gift Card belongs to when you receive it as Gift Cards are
sent direct to the agency for distribution to the clients. Lastly, the
clients and agencies are required to pay sales tax on the gift card portion
of their purchases; this is a state law and there are no exceptions.
Event Requests:
Please put the
request on letterhead with the name of the charitable organization, a
contact person's name, a return address, a phone number, and the date of
your event. A copy of the Federal Tax Determination letter for
the charity that the proceeds will go to is required for processing.
We are required to have the support documentation on file. Requests
will not be honored without this letter.
Contact Us:
In the
interest of ensuring contact with the Foundation, requests cannot be
left at a store, faxed, or emailed. All request must be submitted via
US mail to our
contact address.
