Donation Jar at Bike Valet Booth?
Hello all,
We run a bike valet at a bi-weekly farmer's market, usually parking several dozen bikes in a few hours. Valet is free to use and staffed by volunteers; our organization receives no compensation.
We are considering a donation jar to benefit the organization (mostly to cover promotional materials). However, we don't want to pressure anyone to donate, lest it discourage their regular use of our service.
We're considering a small donation jar in the corner of our event table, accompanied by a sign roughly stating, "Bike valet is a free service! Donations to Human Powered Delray are optional but always appreciated."
Organizations that do bike valet: Do you have a donation or tip jar? Do you request compensation from event organizers? What do you do with donated money? If it's relevant, we're a 501(c)(3) bike/ped advocacy organization.
Thank you very much for your time and input!
Organizations that do bike valet: Do you have a donation or tip jar? Yes, donation Do you request compensation from event organizers? Yes, $12-20/hr What do you do with donated money? General fund
We are realizing that Bike Valet can be a major source of community outreach/awareness. We are developing a multi color poster/banner outlining our programs and with a call and contact to donate.

We do Bike Valet at events and We put out a jar that has a sign that says " Suggested Donation $5" some people throw in a dollar- some a $20 some $5 some nothing- there is no pressure. We also have a poster that says donations support Bike Works youth and community programs and we have brochures about our Earn-a-bike classes and Summer bike touring camps and bike giveaways for youth etc. www.bikeworks.org .
