Donation Requests
Please note, due to overwhelming demand, we are currently only accepting donation requests for events happening in the first quarter of 2024 (Jan-Mar). Those requests will be processed mid Dec 2023. Thank you for your understanding!
As a member of the St. Louis metropolitan community, RF Home Co believes it is our responsibility to support local, nonprofit community organizations by providing financial and merchandise contributions.
This policy ensures that all donations are coordinated and aligned with our corporate strategy and business goals, maximize opportunities to develop long-term relationships, and fit within our budget and resource limitations. This policy also establishes a central point of contact for all requests. All expenditures for charitable donations and the like will be handled accordingly.
All requests must be submitted online through our RF Home Co Donation Request Form at least 60 days in advance of the event date.
- All incoming requests will be coordinated and administered by Operations Management. No employee may make a verbal or written commitment to a charitable contribution, other than Operations Management.
- Operations management will communicate directly with organizations requesting donations.
