DONATION POLICY & GUIDELINES
In order to process requested donations, we require:
1. That the applying organizations hold 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. In addition, Boulder County based organizations will receive more consideration than organizations outside the county. Because we are a local store that was raised by our community, Boulder County ventures are where we tend to reciprocate our investments.
2. 6 to 8 weeks of notice prior to the date you need the donation. Because Boulder County ranks first in non-profits per capita, we process a large amount of requests at any given time. If we need to place a special order to fill the request, this timeframe is necessary for the delivery of products.
3. Publicizing of McGuckin Hardware’s involvement. Recognition of McGuckin Hardware’s contribution is required via the channels your organization uses to communicate to the public (social media posts, newsletter mentions, signage at events, etc).
4. Documentation from the qualified organization (printed on the organization’s official letterhead) acknowledging the donation’s retail value. Please send acknowledgement to McGuckin Hardware via mail or email (attn: Marketing Department, or [email protected]).
If you understand and can agree to and abide by the information above on behalf of the organization making the request for donation, please complete our online form.
McGuckin Hardware reserves the right to deny any donation request. All donations are at the discretion of McGuckin Hardware. Revised 07/2020.
