Donations and Fundraising

The Washington Nationals are happy to help military and nonprofit organizations located within the Greater Washington, D.C. area in support of their fundraising efforts through in-kind donations. Due to the volume of requests received, we ask that you thoroughly read and adhere to the following guidelines prior to making a request in order to be considered.

Guidelines and Procedures

• To be eligible to receive a donation from the Nationals, organizations must be based within the Greater Washington, D.C. area.
• Only requests submitted online to nationals.com/donations will be reviewed. Mailed, faxed or e-mailed requests will not be accepted.
• Requests must be received by Community Relations at least 6 weeks in advance of the date of the event.
• Be prepared to provide a brief explanation of the event, including date, contact name, contact email, contact phone number, complete mailing address and the organization's Federal Tax ID number.
• Incomplete requests will not be considered.
• Please do not submit duplicate requests.

Additional Information

• Donation requests are filled with autographed memorabilia or game tickets; the Nationals cannot donate promotional items, equipment, or other miscellaneous items.
• Approved requests are usually filled within 30 days of the event date. Requests received with long lead times may not be filled right away but kept in our files for fulfillment approximately 30 days from the event date.
• Due to the vast number of donation appeals received, we have to limit our donations to organizations within the Greater Washington, D.C. area.
• Our goal is to assist as many groups as possible with donations. Because we receive thousands of requests every year we can only donate to individual organizations once in a given year.
• We are unable to donate to for-profit companies -- including employee appreciation days/holiday events.
• We are unable to make monetary donations, purchase program ads, sponsor golf holes, or buy tables at banquets.
• If you have provided us with the proper advance notice, your event is within one to two weeks, and you have not received a response please call the Nationals Community Relations department at communityrelations@nationals.com.
• Requests for more than 4 tickets cannot be filled through the in-kind donation system; if you would like to receive 5 or more game tickets, please apply to receive free tickets through our Community Ticket Grant program.

Nationals' front office personnel are unable to intervene on behalf of fans seeking autographs for charitable purposes by accepting items via mail or in person for delivery to players.
