With This Ring - Donating Your Ring

Donating Your Ring

WOW! I am incredibly thankful for people like you who have such an amazing heart to give. I am continually amazed at the overwhelming response to this ministry. We use the precious jewelry that you send us to dig wells and bring clean drinking water to some of the poorest citizens in the world.

When rings or items of value are donated, anything other than money, the IRS has some strict guidelines that we need to follow to maintain our status as a public charity and protect your ability to deduct the gift to the extent allowed by law. The process is simple:

1) Go to your local jeweler and ask him to write an appraisal for your ring. The appraisal will need to describe the jewelry including the cut, the style, and estimated worth. If you do not think the cost of an appraisal is worth the value of the ring, then we recommend that you sell the ring and donate the proceeds.

2) Download the IRS form 8283. Please fill in the applicable information in Section A and Section B. If the appraised value that you obtain is more than $500, the please complete Section B for us including the signature of the appraiser.

3) Mail the jewelry with the form 8283 to:

With This Ring
19713 Yorba Linda #307
Yorba Linda, CA 92886.

Make sure to send the donation by registered mail, return receipt requested if you send by USPS or make sure you can track it if you send it by another delivery service. Make sure it is appropriately insured. If you email us your tracking number, then we can also track it and will confirm the delivery for you by email when we receive it.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. There will be people all over the world that will be blessed by your act of "Radical Giving." If you have questions, please email Ali.

Because of the IRS guidelines on charities that accept non-cash contributions, With This Ring cannot accept jewelry or other non-cash gifts without the completed IRS form 8283 and the appraisal when appropriate. With This Ring is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Your gift to With This Ring is deductible to the extent allowed by law.
