Guidelines
The Washington Redskins support a wide range of charities and community organizations each year. The Redskins are committed to assisting local non-profit organizations raise funds for worthwhile causes through the donation of Redskins signed merchandise. Each year the Redskins organization donates thousands of items that collectively raise over $250,000 per year for local charities.
The following procedures and guidelines are designed to help you with your donation request:
Due to the overwhelming number of donation requests we receive, the Redskins are only able to accept requests from non-profit, charitable organizations located in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
All donation requests must be submitted online using the
Redskins Donation Form. No telephone, fax, or email requests will be accepted. The donation form must be filled out in its entirety in order for your request to be considered.
Please note we are not able to donate game tickets for charitable auctions or raffles nor do we accept personal items for signatures.
We ask that each organization submit only one donation request per calendar year in order to accommodate as many organizations as possible.
Due to the overwhelming number of donation requests we receive, the Redskins are only able to accept requests from non-profit, charitable organizations located in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Your non-profit organization must have a valid 501 (c)3 tax exempt number and this must be entered on the donation request form in order for your request to be considered. If you are a business sponsoring a non-profit event, please have a member of the non-profit organization complete the donation request form.
The Washington Redskins receive nearly 1,500 donation requests per year. We try to fulfill as many of these requests as possible in a timely fashion, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee that every donation request will be fulfilled. Organizations will receive notification upon receipt of online donation request and/or a donation will be sent out two weeks prior to the event date.
Helpful Donation Request Hints
It is recommended that your event does not center around anticipation of a Redskins donation item, but should be approached as a complimentary element to your program.
Although we do no donate tickets to community organizations to use in auctions or raffles; we have no objection to individuals donating Redskins tickets to your organization so long as the proceeds from the auction, raffle, or sale of these tickets goes to your organization for charitable purposes.
Individual Autograph Requests
Please do not send the Washington Redskins items such as footballs, jerseys, photos, and trading cards to be signed by individual Redskins players. Although we will attempt to return these items to the sender, we are not responsible if these items are lost, misplaced or damaged.
Please send fan mail and individual player autograph requests to:
Player’s Name
Washington Redskins
21300 Redskin Park Drive
Ashburn, VA 20147
If you have an irreplaceable item, we suggest that you keep it in your possession. We cannot guarantee that any items sent to players or coaches will be returned. It is up to the individual player or coach to respond to his personal requests and fan mail. All requests should include a self-addressed stamped (unsealed) envelope. Please do not send items to more than one player in the same envelope.
The Washington Redskins cannot assume any responsibility for items mailed directly to players.
