Zappos For Good Donations
- Q:
Can I get a receipt for my donation?
- A:
Donations made through any of our GIVE nonprofit partners are eligible for a tax receipt, but you will need to request the tax receipt directly from them. Please note, Zappos for Good facilitates the shipment of the donation, but our nonprofit partners receive the donations to put to good use. You can request a tax receipt through the contact forms listed below for our various nonprofit partners. Please mention your donation was made through Zappos for Good and include your tracking number, if possible. Our RECYCLE programs are not 501(c)(3) charitable organizations and, unfortunately, cannot issue tax receipts for donations.

- Q:
I have items I would like to donate/recycle for more than one GIVE or RECYCLE program. Can I combine them into one box?
- A:
We kindly ask that you separate your items for each GIVE and RECYCLE program into different boxes. This is because the prepaid shipping labels ship the boxes directly to our partners and our partners don’t have a way to sort or redirect a donation to another program.

You will need to log in to your Zappos account to print your shipping labels. If you don’t have a Zappos customer account, you can follow the prompts during the process to create one.
