Ollie’s wants the communities where we do business to thrive. After all, our employees and customers live, work and raise families in those communities. Therefore, we have created the guidelines below to help us maximize our community support and manage and control the abundance of charitable requests we receive.
While Ollie’s makes every effort to support a variety of groups, our mission is to support organizations that better the lives of children and provide the best opportunities to our next generation.
Ollie’s Primary Corporate Charitable Programs
We currently support the following national organizations regularly and in significant ways through store events and other means: Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Feeding America, Toys for Tots, and Children's Miracle Network. Ollie’s raises more than $2 million a year for these organizations combined!
Donation Request Guidelines
Solicitation Requests
With the exception of Ollie’s primary corporate charitable programs such as those described above, Ollie’s believes that other forms of solicitation, no matter how well intentioned, can cause disruption to our associates and customers and may interfere with our primary charitable programs. Therefore, on premise solicitation of any kind including, but not limited to, canning, distribution of literature or collecting cash or in kind donations (goods/services) at any Ollie’s location is strictly prohibited at all times.
Donation or Charitable Sponsorship Request Guidelines
Ollie’s will provide all eligible applicants that have a 501(c)(3) Federal E.I.N. with a 15% discount certificate to use towards one transaction at any Ollie’s store location. Due to the very large number of donation requests we receive, we cannot honor product, cash, or gift card requests. Please complete the below form if the 15% discount certificate would benefit your non-profit organization. All eligible applicants will receive the 15% certificate to the mailing address that is submitted on the below form. Certificates expire six months after issue date. Certificates are limited to one discount per benefiting organization per year. Certificate is a one-time use only discount.
