2025 National Event Item Donations
Q: What is the process for donating items?
First, take a look at the list below and find something that hasn't been claimed, and e-mail props.alliancemn@gmail.com with what you would like to donate and in what quantity. Once you have sent in what you'd like to donate, our staff will respond that we received your e-mail, discuss any necessary specifics, and approve your donation (or otherwise tell you that someone already has it covered). The item on the list below will then be marked PENDING to indicate that someone is working on it. The list will be updated pretty frequently and will be items will be marked Pending on a first-come-first-serve basis (with the caveat that we may spread out larger-quantity items like packets, tabards, or weapons between multiple interested donors rather than having one person claim the entire quantity to help ensure that we get). As time goes on, we may send out a follow-up email to people with Pending donations to check in on their progress. Once the item is received by our staff, the listing will be marked RECEIVED.
Q: Where do I ship things?
Please ship any National donations to the following address:
Alexander Thompson
1544 Iowa Ave E
Saint Paul, MN 55106
We would prefer donated items be provided to the address above to ensure that we have everything accounted for at the event, but we will accommodate in-person deliveries to local staff members in the area.
Q: When are donations due?
Donations should be received no later than August 8th, 2025 if at all possible.
Q: What if I am no longer able to donate something I said that I could?
Please send an email to props.alliancemn@gmail.com to let us know if you are unable to donate something you claimed so that we can make it available for someone else to work on.
Q: Do I have to donate the entire desired quantity of an item?
Nope! Feel free to just let us know how many you are able to contribute and we will leave the rest of the quantity for other people to fulfill.
Q: Can I donate straight cash?
Information on cash donations can be found in this post: https://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/2025-national-event-donation.45205/
Q: How many Dragon Stamps (DS) do I get for my donations?
Purchased donations will be given 2 DS per $5 spent (rounded down). Please provide a receipt for these items! Other items may have a specific DS value awarded, as listed by their entry on the Donation list. Please note that this value is an estimate and may be subject to change, though it should be pretty close to the final amount granted. For crafted items, DS will vary depending on dollar value and workmanship.
