Soap Donation Center, Inc. is a nonprofit charity for soap makers and philanthropists across the United States and gratefully accepts donations of funds and/or homemade soap.
Donate Funds
Donated funds are used primarily for postage to ship handcrafted soap donations to recipients throughout the United States and for overhead expenses related to running our organization.
In doing so, your generous gift helps us to succeed with our mission.
Our organization consists of volunteers only; we have no paid staff.
Our volunteers, the tax-exempt charities' staff receiving your soap, and those in need of soap across the United States, sincerely appreciate your donation of precious homemade soap.
Donors should enclose a completed Soap Donation Form with the donated soap.
Soap donations must be safe for use and free of sodium hydroxide.
Donated soap bars should be labeled.
To comply with sanitary requirements, soap donations should be shrink wrapped.
If soap donations are received without labels or shrink wrap, Soap Donation Center volunteers will label and shrink wrap the donated bars.
Mail soap to Soap Donation Center or take soap to a drop-off location.
Postage for mailing homemade soap to Soap Donation Center is tax-deductible.
Donors receive a donation receipt letter for the purpose of claiming the in-kind gift donation of soap as a tax deduction at fair market value.
Soap drop-off locations are available on a limited basis across the US.
