About the Organization

The Greensboro Gargoyles are a professional hockey team based in Greensboro, North Carolina, competing in the ECHL.

As part of the team’s community engagement efforts, the Gargoyles work with nonprofit organizations and community groups throughout North Carolina. The Donation Request Program provides organizations with an opportunity to request team-related items that can support fundraising and promotional events.

What This Program Supports

The Greensboro Gargoyles provide donated items to qualifying nonprofit organizations for promotional and fundraising purposes.

Potential uses may include:

• Charity auctions
• Fundraising events
• Raffles
• Community events
• Nonprofit promotional activities
• Other charitable fundraising initiatives

Because the team receives a high volume of requests, submitting an application does not guarantee that an organization will receive a donation.

Eligibility & Geographic Focus

The program is intended for:

• Local nonprofit organizations
• Organizations located in North Carolina
• Organizations holding charitable or community events

The Gargoyles describe the program as assistance for local nonprofit organizations in North Carolina. Organizations in Greensboro, Guilford County, and surrounding communities may therefore be particularly relevant applicants, although the team does not publish a specific county-by-county eligibility boundary.

Donation Type

This is an in-kind donation program rather than a traditional cash grant.

The Gargoyles provide items that nonprofit organizations can potentially use to support fundraising or promotional activities.

The team does not publish a standard monetary value for donated items.

Application Requirements

Organizations must provide:

• A completed Greensboro Gargoyles Donation Request Form
• A request letter printed on the organization’s official letterhead
• An event flyer or event advertisement
• Information about the nonprofit organization and event

The request form must be completed in its entirety.

Timeline

📅 Application Deadline: Rolling
📅 Required Lead Time: At least four weeks before the event

Organizations should apply as early as possible. The team receives dozens of donation requests and cannot guarantee that every request will be approved.

If a request is approved, donated items may be made available for pickup before the event at the Gargoyles’ discretion.

Application / Request Process

Organizations should complete the online donation request form and provide all required supporting materials.

A complete request should include both an official organization letter and an event flyer or advertisement.

Completion of the application does not guarantee a donation.

Why This Opportunity Is a Good Fit

This opportunity may be useful for North Carolina nonprofits that:

• Are planning an upcoming fundraising event
• Need donated items for an auction or raffle
• Serve communities in or around the Greensboro area
• Can submit their request at least four weeks before their event
• Have an established event with a flyer or other promotional material

Because this is an in-kind opportunity, it is especially relevant for organizations seeking items that can enhance an auction, raffle, or fundraising event rather than direct program funding.
