Portland Trail Blazers

DONATION GUIDELINES:

The Trail Blazers utilize the ApproveForGood platform to manage all in-kind donation requests (please don't use this form to request financial contributions or sponsorships). We donate to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and schools across Oregon and SW Washington that support individuals from communities that have been historically underserved or marginalized with a focus on where youth live, learn, and play. We prioritize organizations that best align with our mission.

Although we try our best to accommodate as many in-kind donation requests as possible, due to the high volume of requests we receive and limited inventory, there is no guarantee we will be able to fulfill your desired request. We thank you for your understanding should we need to alter or substitute an item or decline your request. You may submit a request for the following fundraising items:

  • Signed Memorabilia
  • Tickets for fundraisers

If you are looking for financial support instead, our funding is accessible through the Trail Blazers Foundation. More information can be found at www.trailblazers.com/community/foundation

  • Requests for senior class parties, post-prom parties and other similar events are not granted.
