= Monetary donations =

Monetary donations are always useful. 

* {{Paypal Button|button=Donate via PayPal|reason=wiki donate page}}
* (Members: do '''not''' put dues here -- you want [[Dues Payments]].)

== Monetary Donation Receipts ==

Email the Treasurer (treasurer@i3detroit.org) with donor’s name, description of donation, value, and date.

= Equipment Donations =

'''Do not just bring in stuff without approval of the appropriate Zone Coordinator. Abandonations are a huge problem, please don't contribute to it.''' We're packed to the gills and have negative square footage for new stuff, so incoming stuff has to be better than what we already have, and will typically involve evicting something. It's a lot of work. 

Each zone has a list of things it's looking for, see below. If you have something we're looking for, contact the relevant Zone Coordinator (listed on each zone's page), and proceed when you hear back from them. (If they don't respond after a week or so, you could also email contact@ and we'll try to rustle them up.) 

== Equipment Donation Receipts == 

As above, but cc the Zone Coordinator on the initial email since the Treasurer will need to check with them anyway.
