Guidelines for Place of Donation/Collection Container(s)

  •  All donation and collection initiatives inside the University of Maryland School of Nursing building in Baltimore must be approved prior to initiation.

    • Beneficiary(ies) of donation initiative
    • Date(s) of collection
    • Contact information (i.e. email address)

If an extension is required, the responsible group representative must notify the Office of Communications via email at nrscommunications@umaryland.edu within two business days of end of initial 10-day collection period.
