   The letter should explain the mission of your agency (you may include a brochure in lieu of the mission explanation in the letter) and include a list of needed equipment and/or supplies, such as office furniture, computers, lab equipment, etc. A copy of your agency's Tax Exempt Letter from the I.R.S. should also be attached.
2. Include contact information in the letter name, address, phone, fax, email. You may fax the letter to Ms. Bagot-López at 415/502-1368 and follow up by mailing the hard-copy to her at the address shown above.
3. Once your request is approved as originating from a 501(c)(3) agency, we will approve the request and fax a copy of the approved request to you, along with the phone number of the warehouse. At the same time we will fax a copy of the approved request to the warehouse.
4. Call the warehouse phone number to set up an appointment to visit the warehouse.*
