Can You Get a Tax Deduction for Donating a Fur Coat?
Yes! Fur coats, stoles, and accessories donated to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit are tax-deductible at fair market value. For quality furs, this can mean a deduction of $200-$5,000 or more.
Many people inherit furs they'll never wear or have pieces from a different era of their life. Rather than let them deteriorate in storage, donating provides tax benefits while giving these garments continued use.
Why Donate Your Fur?
Inherited Pieces
Grandmother's mink deserves more than a closet. Give it new life while honoring her memory.
Changed Values

Climate Change
Moved somewhere warm? Your fur can still be enjoyed by others for special occasions.
Downsizing
