Donate Vitamins







It is possible for manufacturing companies, distributors, and retail stores to donate their vitamin products so that they will not only have a tax write off, but will help people in need of nutrients all over the world. By making a donation, your company can help fight the problem of unnecessary childhood fatalities due to malnutrition, which is responsible for 1/3 of most cases. Although individuals are not allowed to donate their vitamins to collection facilities, your company can by sending in the appropriate documentation of the vitamin products you manufacture, distribute, or carry in your retail store.








Instructions

Fill out the spaces describing your contribution, such as your company's information, the vitamins you wish to donate, details about your products, and your tax information, then click "Submit."


2. Prepare a Certificate of Analysis for each lot of vitamins you plan on donating.
