Fundraising

Coinstar_® seeks to support a variety of non-profit organizations through our Coins that Count_® donation program. Though we cannot list every interested organization in the on-machine donation program we have an alternative program to aid organizations in their coin-based fundraising efforts.

Coinstar is proud to offer a reduced fee of 7.5% to qualified 501(c) 3 non-profit organizations. To qualify for this 2.3% fee rebate an organization must:

• Process at least $1,800 in coins, resulting in a minimum rebate value of $25.
• Fill out and submit the Fee Rebate Form (PDF format), available for download below, along with:
  • A copy of the IRS letter stating registered 501(c) 3 status.
  • Photocopies of cash vouchers from the Coinstar machine.

You may submit several voucher copies at once totaling at least $1800, however these vouchers must reflect transactions occurring during a three-month period. Copies of vouchers more than three months old will not be considered for rebate.

Please note: Cash vouchers must be redeemed in-store on the day issued.

Requests will be processed in 4-6 weeks. Checks will be made payable, and sent directly, to the non-profit organization. All rebates are subject to Coinstar review and approval.

If your organization is planning to use a Coinstar machine to process a large coin drive of several thousand dollars or more, we would like to know about it ahead of time so that we may prepare our machines for the volume of your transaction.
