How to Donate an Auction Item
 
All auction items should have a value of at least $100. A letter showing a tax-deductible donation in the final sale amount of the item will be issued after the auction.
 

To donate an auction item, please first call, mail, or e-mail a description of the item to Institute staff members. Because the potential exists for duplicate as well as non-saleable items and only a certain number of items can be accepted, the Institute prefers to know the type, value, and size of each item.

General categories of auction items:

  1. Artwork
  2. Jewelry
  3. Vacations
  4. Regional gift packages (i.e. Hawaii, New England)
  5. Food or wine gift baskets
  6. Collectibles or memorabilia
  7. Dental hygiene-related gifts

Upon contacting the ADHA Institute regarding your donation, staff members will direct you on how to best package and ship your auction item.

The ADHA Institute's annual Gala & Auction is the main fundraising event for the organization. Your donation helps to provide funding for dental hygiene scholarships and research grants. If you have any further questions regarding how to donate an auction item, or on the annual Gala, please feel free to call or e-mail Institute staff.
