Only currently active BottleDrop Give Blue Bag fundraisers are eligible to register for Earth Week Give. Please wait until your account is activated to register.

BottleDrop Give will match 20% of funds raised through Blue Bags and online donations from Green Bag accounts between April 15 – 26, 2026.

Yes, fundraisers are still limited to returning a total of 15 Blue Bags per nonprofit per day. If you have multiple people dropping bags for your nonprofit, please coordinate with them or encourage supporters to only return 1-2 bags per day to ensure you are not exceeding the total daily limit.

Yes, fundraisers can make an appointment at full-service BottleDrop Redemption Centers to drop up to 50 Blue Bags. During this special promotion, fundraisers can schedule up to 2 appointments (1 per week). Appointments are limited and will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fundraisers can request an appointment by emailing fundraisers@bottledrop.com. In your email, please state the full-service Redemption Center location, date, and time you would like to visit. Appointments are available Monday – Saturday, between 9am – 2pm, and can be scheduled up to 1 month in advance. Scheduling for appointments during Earth Week Give will be available starting Monday, March 16.

Visit our Nonprofit Search and type in your organization’s name as it appears on your account. If you are unsure how your nonprofit’s name appears on your account, log into your account and view the name that appears to the left of your current balance. This is also the name that appears on your bag tag stickers.

Log in to your online account and click the “Fundraiser Information” box from the menu of options on the left side of the screen. You can edit the description that appears on your donation page, the category associated with your nonprofit, and the city where you are located.

We recommend including information in your description for interested supporters – such as how they can obtain Blue Bags, contact information for questions, and how funds are used to help support your mission.

The deadline to apply is April 1, 2026. Fundraisers can access the application here.

If your nonprofit is chosen as a recipient, we will notify the person who submitted the application using the contact information provided. We will also showcase nonprofit recipients throughout Earth Week Give on our website and social media channels.

Yes! We are committed to our 7-day processing timeframe and will match bags processed within 7 days of the end of the match period, as matching funds allow.

Matching funds will be deposited to your BottleDrop Give account by May 15. We will send an email to the address used to register for Earth Week Give when funds have been added to your account.

Yes, each nonprofit can receive a 20% match on up to $2,000 in funds raised (for a maximum of $400 in matching funds per nonprofit).

We calculated how many bags could be dropped during the 12-day match period and then compared it with data from our 2025 Earth Week Give campaign.

Our reasoning is listed below:

• Estimated Amount Raised from Blue Bags
  • The maximum number of bags allowed to be dropped during the match period is 250 bags with 2 pre-scheduled appointments.
    • 15 bags allowed per day x 10 days = 150 bags
    • 50 bags allowed per appointment day x 2 days = 100 bags
  • The average value of a Blue Bag dropped during Earth Week Give 2025 was $7.06.
    • 250 Blue Bags x $7.06 = $1,765.00

• Estimated Amount Raised from Online Donations
  • The average online donation made during Earth Week Give 2025 was $57.17.
  • Fundraisers are not limited to the number of online donations they may receive from Green Bag accounts during the match period, but they are included in the individual Fundraiser cap.
• Formula Totals
  • $1,765 from Blue Bags + $57 from online donations = $1,822 total raised
  • We rounded this up to $2,000, in case your bag values and online donations are above average.
  • $2,000 raised x 20% match = potential $400 in matching funds from BottleDrop Give
