Is
my donation tax deductible?
Yes!
All items donated are deductible for income tax purposes at
their present fair market value. Internal Revenue code places
the responsibility for estimating this value upon the donor
rather than the agency receiving the gift. As with any tax-related
information, an individual donor should always consult a tax
professional to resolve questions regarding their particular
donation. Please consult form 8283 and publication 526 and
561 on the Internal Revenue Service website. www.irs.gov

How do I identify items that I intend to donate?
It is your responsibility to identify
the items you wish to donate. Labels may be printed from this
site. At a minimun, you should affix a label to all items you
intend to donate to Prevent Blindness Oklahoma, Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Oklahoma and/or Oklahoma Foundation for the Disabled.
The label should include"PB" for dontions to Prevent Blindness
Oklahoma; "BBBS" for donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Oklahoma; or "FD" for donations to Oklahoma Foundation for the
Disabled. Furthermore, you should set the items you wish to
donate outside your residence and at a reasonable distance away
from any items on your property that you do not wish to donate.
Please take special care not to place the items you wish to
donate in confusingly close proximity to items that you do not
wish to donate. Donation Pickup, Prevent Blindness of Oklahoma,
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma, and/or Oklahoma Foundation
for the Disabled will not be responsible for items accidentally
picked up from your property because of your failure to abide by
this policy.

driver may, also, have to return and unload during the day.
