Request a Donation

Thank you for your interest in having the Western Reserve Historical Society donate an item to your silent auction, raffle, or other special event. WRHS is a not-for-profit organization, and therefore we appreciate the importance of donations to support the work of community groups and organizations. While we cannot honor every request, we do carefully consider each one and determine the type of donation based on the event criteria.

The following request guidelines have been developed to create consistency and fairness to organizations that seek support:

• Organizations requesting donations must be not-for-profit [501(c)] organizations operating in the state of Ohio.
• Requests must be received at least six weeks prior to the event date.
• All donation requests must be submitted via the Donation Request form below.
• Submitting a request is not a guarantee that WRHS will give a donation.
• Higher priority will be given to events and organizations located in the Greater Cleveland and Akron areas.
