Donations

Community

Donations are an essential part of D.C. United's community outreach efforts and provide the team the opportunity to generate positive impact throughout the Washington, D.C. area. Giving back allows D.C. United to support a great number of organizations, which in turn help those in need.

Making a Request

The following request policy has been developed as a way to create consistency and fairness to the organizations that ask for D.C. United's support. Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we face the unfortunate task of making decisions and allocating resources responsibly. Therefore, not all requests are fulfilled, and a priority is given to those organizations located in the Washington, D.C. area. We are unable to provide support for churches, synagogues or other places of worship for sectarian religious purposes. In addition, D.C. United may be able to assist organizations only once per calendar year.

Applying

All donation requests must be submitted in writing at least six weeks in advance of the fundraising event. No telephone call or email requests will be accepted. If there is a publication deadline or a date by which the donation is needed, requests must be submitted in writing at least six weeks before this date.

Written requests must be submitted on organizational letterhead and include:

  1. Organization's name, non-profit tax ID number and full address
  2. Contact name and telephone number
  3. Address to which to send the donation response
  4. Nature of the event
  5. Day, date and time of event
  6. Event location
  7. Number in attendance and how funds raised will be used
  8. Publication deadline/item "need by" date (if applicable)

Please address requests to:

D.C. United
RFK Stadium
2400 East Capitol Street, S.E.
Washington, D.C.  20003
Attn: Community Relations

Processing

D.C. United will follow up in writing to all requests received. Please allow at least three weeks for processing. D.C. United asks that telephone inquiries regarding donation status not be made due to the high volume of requests received. All donation decisions made by D.C. United are final and will be mailed according to dates of the events and/or dates by which the items are needed.
