eBay Giving Works Donations: You can now support Skateistan by donating 10 - 100% of proceeds from items that you sell on eBay. This means that with a small effort any new or used items can be collected and quickly turned into funding for Skateistan. The proceeds will go automatically to the PayPal of Skateistan (US), which is a certified tax-exempt, non-for-profit organization registered at eBay’s Giving Works. Find out how here!
Equipment Donations: If you are interested in donating skateboarding equipment or other supplies please be aware that due to the incredible complications with shipping to Afghanistan we only accept donations of new products. If we are unable to accept your donated items, we suggest that you auction them using the eBay Giving Works feature, where a percentage or all proceeds are donated to Skateistan. If you have something that might be useful in the skatepark or the classroom please e-mail info@skateistan.org.
Shipping Assistance: If you or your organization can help us get any equipment into Afghanistan, big or small, please e-mail us. This could be access to an APO box in Afghanistan or logistical assistance for larger shipments by air. We currently have equipment and supplies in the US and Europe that need to be brought to Kabul.
