Donate for America's Future!
Your guide to on-line donations
for end of the year and year-around giving |
 |
Your unwanted, surplus, and extra items of
value are being accepted as donations. You can avoid throwing away valuable and
useful items; from laptops & computers to equipment and office supplies, cars, video
equipment, and stocks. Benefit a non profit organization--the best way to recycle!
Each year, millions of serviceable
laptop and desktop computers and other items are thrown away just
because the owners don't know what to do with them or who to call. Yet these items
can continue to be used or can be sold to help worthwhile causes. We hope you will
consider donating your items to us, whether today or in the future. We work to
accept such gifts rapidly, particularly if you have a deadline. We are
located in the Washington, DC area, and are convenient to DC, Maryland (MD),
and Virginia (VA) for easy pickup.
The Conservative Caucus (TCC) is
hard at work fighting to cut your taxes, reduce government spending and power, and
to educate
Americans about the Constitution. You can help expand our efforts by telling others
about our web site, with a contribution, or by donating items such as those listed below.
Corporate donations and grants are welcome. To make an on-line contribution at our secure
site with your credit card, please click here.
