I am in charge of getting cash and supply donations for a University of Kentucky benefit. This benefit is for kids in the area, we are teaching them how to use visual art when learning about a subject. We need school supplies and cash donations. Will places like target and walmart even donate? Or should I stick to smaller local companies?
Target and Walmart are probably bombarded day and night with requests. Also, you would have a hard time getting in touch with a real decision maker. Having said that it can’t hurt to try. You will have better luck with small organizations but remember, they’re hurting in this economy so you will want to promise them some exposure/advertising in exchange for the donation.
