Support Our Student Team

Our Student Team is always in need of new or gently used gear to help them succeed in their work. We’ve created a lending library where students can find items that are well-fitting, comfortable, and appropriate for the weather. We believe that success starts with feeling confident, prepared, and equipped — and that includes access to the right clothing and gear.

​

Donating to NextGrounds

NextGrounds accepts a wide variety of donations. If you have any questions about what we accept, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re happy to help.

 

All donations are deeply appreciated. Please note that once an item is donated to NextGrounds, it cannot be returned under any circumstance. This applies to all donation types, including (but not limited to) clothing, shoes, tools, equipment, and financial contributions.

 

Important Note:
NextGrounds is not currently a registered nonprofit organization. As such, we are unable to provide tax receipts for donations at this time.
