What Wayfair donates
Wayfair has typically donated: The Support Request page does not itself specify whether awards are product/in-kind or monetary; independent reporting describes an in-kind product-donation component, but this was not directly confirmed on the apply page itself, so the type is left as mixed/unconfirmed rather than asserted.
Who can apply
Wayfair limits donation requests by area: Organizations must operate in a community where Wayfair has a presence.
