DonatE Games from Your Collection or Inventory
Do you have games that you no longer play or can no longer store? We can take them off your hands and find them a new home! Just use the form here to let us know how many games you intend to donate and we will reach out to figure out the logistics.
Please note: Our current funding situation makes it difficult for us to cover shipping costs for long-distance donations. Depending on the number and condition of the games you are offering, we may be able to arrange partial coverage. Please reach out to us and we will see what’s possible!
If paying for shipping is out of the question, we suggest checking out your local non-profit organizations to see if they can accept your generous donation!
Host a Birthday Fundraiser on Facebook
If your birthday is coming up, please consider hosting a Facebook fundraiser on behalf of Board Games for the Better!
