Do you have shells you would like to donate to our Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club?
The Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club is interested in your duplicate shells or shell collections. We are interested in all types of shells, marine or land, and all genera and species. We’re also interested in new or used books on shells as well as items related to shells such as artwork, storage cases and tools. Your donated items will be used to generate income to support the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club’s Grants Program that focuses on marine research.
As a 501c(3) organization, all donations to our Club may qualify for a tax write-off. When we receive your donation, we provide you with a letter which describes the items and which may be used when filing your taxes. While we cannot provide a value, donations of up to $5,000 do not require a written appraisal. Since tax laws change regularly, we recommend that you check with your tax accountant before relying on any information provided here.
If you have items to donate to the Club or if you have questions, please contact Club President Karen Silverstein at [email protected] for more information on how you can help the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club.
We thank you for your support!
