Guidelines for Donation Requests

The Dog Eared Book is proud to be a vital member of the community and contribute to local causes. To help our giving have the most impact, we have included our guidelines and the request form below. We honor two types of requests: Books ( usually coveted early reader copies!) for silent auctions/giveaways and gift cards to the shop.

 

Please carefully read the guidelines for your requested type.

Guidelines for All Donations

1. Requests must be made for an organization with proof of nonprofit status.
2. We do not provide cash donations, sponsorships, or any item not carried in store.
3. Please limit requests to one request per organization per year. Individual classrooms are not eligible, but requests may be made by the school.
4. Keep in mind that while we evaluate each donation independently, due to the very large number of requests most donations carry no more than a $25-$50 value. We give first considerations to our local nonprofits or community organizations within Chowan County and those that benefit literacy or pets.
5. Unfortunately, not all requests can be fulfilled, and decisions will be left to the discretion of The Dog Eared Book. Past support of an organization or event does not guarantee future support.
6. The Dog Eared Book will contact you if we are able to support your organization or event. Due to the very large volume of requests we receive, we may not be able to honor nor reply to every request.

Upon notification of approval, all donation pickups must be scheduled in advance of pickup and must occur during store hours. Donations WILL NOT be delivered. Failure to pick up or claim a donation will eliminate future donation considerations.
