Aeropostale Donation Request -

Emails are ignored. Phone calls are forgotten. In-person visits yield results.

Q: Can I get a cash sponsorship from Aeropostale? A: Almost never. Aeropostale’s donation program, when active, is product-only. Do not ask for money; ask for hoodies and jeans.

Q: How far in advance should I submit my request? A: Since you are dealing with local store managers, submit your request 4 to 6 weeks before your event. This gives the manager time to check inventory and corporate rules.

Q: Does Aeropostale donate to religious schools? A: Yes, as long as the donation is for a secular event (e.g., a school dance or sports team) and not for religious instruction. aeropostale donation request

Q: What tax receipt should I get? A: Ask the manager for a blank "Donation Receipt" or write your own acknowledgement letter for them to sign. You will need the fair market value of the clothing (generally the lowest retail price).

Q: Is there an online portal for Aeropostale donation requests? A: No. As of this writing, Aeropostale.com does not feature a "Community" or "Giving" tab with an application form. This is why the in-person method is vital.

Companies donate for visibility. In your request, promise specific shout-outs. Emails are ignored

Aeropostale is a retailer. Their cost for a t-shirt is far lower than the retail price. Asking for 50 t-shirts (retail value $500) feels generous to you, but it costs them only ~$100 in inventory. Asking for a $500 check feels expensive to them.

Bad ask: "We need $1,000 in sponsorship money." Good ask: "We need 50 graphic t-shirts for volunteer appreciation day."

Yes, but you need to offer digital visibility (e.g., logo on a Zoom backdrop, email newsletter mentions). Q: Can I get a cash sponsorship from Aeropostale

Yes, if the request is non-religious (e.g., sports uniforms or a science fair). No, if the money goes toward religious instruction or missionary work.

Ask the manager if your organization can be the beneficiary of their "round up" campaign for one weekend. Customers are asked if they want to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar for charity. This requires corporate approval, but a persistent local manager can sometimes make it happen.
