Request of In-Kind Donations

To be eligible for a Grand Central in-kind donation, nonprofits must be locally based organizations benefitting our communities.  We accept donation requests through our online application process only. 

Since we are unable to support every school request, and determining which schools to sponsor is difficult, we have decided as a company not to sponsor school events i.e. sports, departmental and club fundraising events. Schools wishing to partner with Grand Central are encouraged to participate in our Dine-To-Give program held every September. See below for more information.

Given the large number of donation requests we receive daily, we regrettably cannot fulfill every request.  Please allow a minimum of 90 days for requests to be considered.

  • Grand Central can support requests for in-kind donations only.

  • All in-kind donation requests must be submitted online, and the online donation form must be filled out completely for your request to be considered.

  • While we try to help as often as possible, to better serve the entire community, organizations are eligible to receive a donation from Grand Central once in a 12-month period.

  • We cannot support religious, political or sectarian organizations, online auctions.

  • Though we congratulate your efforts, we are not able to support individuals or scholarship requests.

  • We do not accept unsolicited cash proposals or hard copy donation requests. We do not donate to online auctions.
