Donation Requests

We are honored that you are requesting our products and services to be available for your event. Potthast Studios helps with many community events every year.  In order to accommodate many good causes and fundraisers, we ask for all formal requests to be submitted online so we can review and efficiently track the projects we help with. We carefully consider events we donate to; however, please understand we are small business owners and can't help with all of them.

In order to retain the value of our services and products we produce, we do have a few policies we ask you to follow:

(1) Donation requests will not be considered if made less than 30 days prior to the event.
(2) Donations are to be used as live or silent auction items. Donations are not to be used as "door prizes" or "giveaway" items.  We will void any donation that is given as a door prize or give-away item.
(3) A studio-approved advertisement must be displayed at the event. (We do lend displays for this purpose). Displays must be returned to the studio within a week after the event. If the display is not returned, we will charge the event or organization $250 to cover a replacement and void the donation we provided.
(4) The studio must be notified of the winner and winning amount within 30 days of the event.  We reserve the right to void any donation if we are not notified of the winning bidder’s information.
(5) Donations are void after 1 year of the event.  Donation items cannot be used October - December of any year (these are our peak times).
(6) Donation items are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for other services or cash.
