Donation FAQs

Why should I donate a bigger, or more creative and inclusive package?

• It is an auction that you will most likely attend so you want to be proud of your donation.
• It is a customer organization, unlike most other donation requests you get for charities. Both are important but VSAE has real ties directly to the businesses.
• You believe in the organization and the cause.

Why should I donate early?

• Marketing–Get mentioned in the newsletters, eNews, and listed here on the website from donation time until the event in December.
• Get it off your plate and relieve yourself of the phone calls and emails reminding you to donate.

Who can donate?

Anyone! To increase participation, the Silent Auction Task Force has established a Silent Auction Fund which will be used to purchase additional auction items. Those who contribute to the fund will be listed in the Association Press newsletter and in the event's on-site program.

How do I donate?

Please complete the donation form and return to VSAE. VSAE has set a minimum retail value of $50 for each donation. If you are unable to donate a gift with a minimum value of $50, please consider a cash contribution to the Silent Auction Fund or a minimum value of $25 donation to the Gift Card Tree.
