Per a conversation I had with Sheriee today she gave me 2 options on how to direct a non profit(501 (c) 3) inquiring or applying for a KaBoom playground, etc.
WE CANNOT GIVE THESE COUPONS OUT FOR RAFFLES, GOLF OUTINGS, AUCTIONS, SILENT AUCTIONS, FUND RAISERS, PRIZES, BENEFITS, CHURCHES, ETC. Your local fire departments and police stations are always asking for this kind of stuff and as hard as it is we have to say no!! Now if your manager wants to donate under store promotions or mark down something that is a different story and has nothing to do with Team Depot. Abuse of these coupons could ruin this wonderful program. Make sure you have control of them and that other associates are not giving them out. We are responsible for each and every one of them. We will go over best practices concerning this issue at our next meeting.
Ways to receive support:
~ Discount Coupons - A limited number of coupons valued at $25 are available for nonprofit organizations whose projects benefit the community. A letter on your organization's letterhead including details of the project, a copy of the 501 (c) (3) or W9 form/letter for your organization and a completed Home Depot Donation Request form are required to be eligible for consideration for a discount coupon.
~ Housing Impact Grants - Grants up to $3000 are available through an on-line application process for projects that include building or repairing affordable housing. Visit www.homedepot.com/housingimpact for guideline information and an application.
~ The Home Depot Foundation - Grants are available on-line for organizations whose efforts include building affordable housing responsibly and planting community trees. Visit www.homedepotfoundation.org for guideline information and an application.

The Home Depot works with schools and nonprofit organizations on educational programs for children. Our associates share their time and talents through our volunteer program, Team Depot. Please contact your
