Always looking for ways to continue our efforts, this week we completed our registration with Ebay, allowing us access to another funding source.
We now have an Orphan Logistics & Relief page and are set up to allow others who buy or sell on Ebay, to donate a percentage of their sales to our organization.
We’re currently running some small items on our page now as a test of sorts, but hope to have some wonderful items on there in the coming days. If you’re like most of us, I’m sure you could wander through your home, and in short order, find a nice collection of items you no longer use or would be willing to part with, if you knew the proceeds would go to support a cause such as Orphan Relief.
If you can, we have two basic options. You could sell the items on your own Ebay account and share a percentage with us, or, if you’d rather, you could donate your items to us outright, mail them to us, and we will post them on our page and handle the rest. Remember, we are a 501c3 not profit public charity, and as such, your donations are tax deductible.
For those of you unsure as to how to go about selling for us, I’ve listed the steps below, as well as a link to our page.
When creating a new listing, simply select the option to “Donate a percentage of sale.” This option is located in the “Choose how you’d like to sell your item” portion of the Sell Your Item form.
You then select our organization, http://donations.ebay.com/charity/charity.jsp?NP_ID=33563
and enter a donation percentage. Please note, there is a $5 minimum donation per listing.
If you rather just donate direct, our mailing address is;
Orphan Logistics & Relief, Inc.
P.O. Box 14434
Tallahassee, Florida 32317
Thank you for all you do to support us,
