Sell Items on eBay
|
You can now donate all or part of the proceeds from an item you sell online on eBay to Project Open Hand! Here's how it works: while listing your item on eBay,
select Project Open Hand as the non-profit which will get proceeds from the sale of your item. Then register with MissionFish, which handles donations to non-profits
for eBay, if you haven't already done so (this is a one-time step). Finally, select a percentage of the final sale to donate to Project Open Hand, from 10% to 100%,
and complete the item listing on eBay. When you select 100%, eBay donates the insertion and final value fees to Project Open Hand as well. The item will appear on eBay with the eBay Giving Works icon, and Project Open Hand and your donation percentage will also appear in the item description. After the listing ends and the buyer pays you for the item, MissionFish will collect the percentage you donated to Project Open Hand, and will hold your funds in escrow until the refund period expires. Finally, MissionFish will pay Project Open Hand and provide you with a tax-deductible receipt for your donation. To list an item on eBay, go to www.ebay.com and sign in under your seller username (or create one if you don't have one). |

Donation of a Vehicle
| Donate a car, van, truck, RV, boat, or even plane to Project Open Hand and help yourself to a fair-market-value tax deduction. You will also save yourself the time and expense of selling it. There are two organizations that handle this. Either visit the Vehicle Donation Processing Center website to donate a car or call them at (800) 553-3018, or call Charity Connection at (800) 772-4274 and mention that you would like to donate your vehicle on behalf of Project Open Hand. Both organizations will pick up the vehicle, handle the necessary paperwork, sell it and give the proceeds to Project Open Hand. |
Donations through the United Way
| You can make a contribution to Project Open Hand at your workplace through the United Way. Simply write in Project Open Hand and our account number 9258780 in the form from the United Way and your donation will be deducted from your paycheck. |
