Donations to Organizations

As you might imagine, artists get a ton of requests for donations for auctions, events and causes. Unfortunately, I can’t donate to every single worthy cause, there are just too many. So, in the interests of sanity, I’ve chosen to donate to the following causes:

Animal Rescue

Children’s and Underserved Population support organizations

Environmental causes

What this looks like:

Recent donations made to the following organizations:

Ruff Haven Rescue

First Step House

Motley Squad

Secondhand Salamander

Donations that I accept:

Specialty and rare recycled glass – i.e. dishes or architectural glass

Old Windows – stained glass, hard water deposits ok, low e glass, wood frames, aluminum frames

I’m unable to accept steel frame windows at this time, I just can’t get the glass out of them.

Random glass items:  marbles, insulators, broken glass collectibles

Donations that I cannot accept:

Steel framed Windows – I can’t remove the glass in any useful way

Tempered glass – I’m overstocked

Clear glass jars – I’m overstocked, these can go into the city recycling stream

Light bulbs

Drop off Point for Secondhand Salamander

I’m delighted to be a drop off point for Secondhand Salamander, a creative reuse organization in Salt Lake City for art and craft supplies.  Donations can be placed in the bin by the garage door anytime it’s outside.  You can leave donations in front of the door, but be aware that they may be scooped up by others.  These donations will then be sold at greatly reduced cost by Secondhand Salamander, please visit their website for events and hours.
