While the TDF Costume Collection Rental Program has reopened for in-person rentals, we ask that you contact us for the most up to date information regarding donations. You can give us a call at 212-989-5855 ext. 0 or email us at ccreception@tdf.org.

Did you know that everything at the TDF Costume Collection has been donated?

We depend on a continuing flow of costume donations to replace old stock and expand our resources. As a matter of fact, we could not properly serve organizations in need of costumes across the United States if not for generous contributions.

How to donate costumes:

Please email us for the most up-to-date information.

Tax credit:

If you are a private individual or a business and want to donate to us, we will offer you a letter for your taxes with an inventory of the items. Although your gift is tax deductible, we cannot value this type of donation. We recommend you seek the assistance of your tax professional especially if you feel you have an extremely valuable or large donation.

Rental credit:

If you are a non-profit organization that rents from us, you may want to donate for rental credit. We usually assign a dollar amount for each costume we keep.

What do you take in donation?

We will take vintage clothing, costume pieces and other accessories that are in wearable condition. If something donated to us is not appropriate for our warehouse, we will find a new home for the item. We would love to be able to keep everything, but that is just not possible.
