About In-Kind
Donations
Every year Project Amigo distributes hundreds of items donated by
Rotary Clubs and individuals in the United States -- everything from
soccer uniforms to laptop computers.
If you would like to donate
...
Please contact us if you would like to donate any items. All
donations are tax deductible.
Most of these donations are brought to Mexico by visitors who bring
them with their personal luggage, which is easy and inexpensive.
Large items must be shipped which is costly and involves
time-consuming paperwork to obtain government authorization. Do not
mail any donated items either to our Novato address or to Mexico
before discussing the donation with us. Please see our Contact
Project Amigo page for easy ways to contact us, or simply e-mail us
at inquiry@projectamigo.org.
