doTERRA Donation Request: How to Request Essential Oils for Your Fundraiser (2026 Guide)
doTERRA now takes donation requests, for products or cash, through a sponsorship form on its newsroom site. Inside: who qualifies, what the form asks, the 30-day silence rule, and why only about 5% of requests succeed.
doTERRA takes donation requests through an online Sponsorship Request Form on its newsroom site, where nonprofits can request product donations or cash support. The form is linked from doTERRA's Corporate Caring page, and its old caring request form now redirects there. doTERRA prioritizes product donations to 501(c)(3) organizations that align with its mission, doesn't donate to individuals or to directly religious or political organizations, and says that if you don't hear back within 30 days, it can't fulfill your request. Approvals are rare: about 5% of doTERRA donation requests tracked on TheShareWay succeed. You can submit the sponsorship form and track your request on doTERRA's TheShareWay page.

The odds have tightened recently: nonprofits logged 348 doTERRA requests on TheShareWay in the last 12 months, and approvals have been rare in that time. doTERRA's decline emails say its donations are limited and its budget is already committed, so apply, but line up other donors for the same basket.
What doTERRA donates
doTERRA donates product, and it says plainly that its product donations are limited. Nonprofits approved on TheShareWay most often describe receiving a set of doTERRA products to assemble into a gift basket, such as essential oils, a diffuser and personal care items, shipped to them. doTERRA donations tracked on TheShareWay are typically worth $100–$250, with a median of $100.
doTERRA doesn't host third-party fundraising events, but it says product donation requests for fundraisers may be considered. That makes a raffle basket, silent auction item or wellness-event giveaway the most realistic ask.
Who can request a doTERRA donation
- 501(c)(3)s get priority. The form asks whether you're a 501(c)(3) and requests your EIN if you have one. If you need your IRS paperwork, see our guide to the 501(c)(3) determination letter.
- Mission fit matters. The form asks how your work aligns with doTERRA's values and mission, and sorts requests into categories: arts and culture, community development, diversity and inclusion, education, entrepreneurial initiatives, environmental conservation, health and wellness, and special needs.
- Not eligible: individuals, and organizations that are directly religious or political.
How to submit a doTERRA donation request
- Apply early. doTERRA asks for requests as early as possible. Approved doTERRA requests tracked on TheShareWay were submitted a median of 90 days before the event.
- Pick your category and explain the fit. Choose the category that matches your work and say in plain terms why your event fits a wellness company.
- Plan the details doTERRA asks for. The form wants your event description and date, how many products you need and who will receive them, how doTERRA will be recognized, any media exposure, your target audience and estimated reach, and any past support from doTERRA. TheShareWay's donation request letter template helps you draft these answers.
- Submit the Sponsorship Request Form. On the form you can request products or cash. You'll also need a website link, and you'll be asked to agree to send doTERRA a recap of the event if it supports you.
- Log the request on doTERRA's TheShareWay page so you know when the 30-day window closes.
After you apply
doTERRA says a response can take up to a month. If your request is approved, a member of its Corporate Sponsorships team contacts you. If you don't hear back within 30 days, doTERRA was unable to fulfill your request, and it notes that it may not share the reason for a decline. On TheShareWay, doTERRA responds in a median of 7 days.
Nonprofits who were approved and reviewed doTERRA on TheShareWay consistently describe a quick reply and products shipped promptly for their basket. Once the donation arrives, a silent auction bid sheet helps you display it, and a thank-you letter plus the event recap doTERRA asks for keeps the relationship in good standing.
The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is doTERRA's separate charitable foundation. doTERRA sends requests for disaster relief, humanitarian aid and Emergency Relief Hygiene Kits there rather than through the sponsorship form, and the foundation's community page also takes product donation requests for charitable projects.
If you're a doTERRA Wellness Advocate raising money for a cause, the foundation's Match program can match up to $10,000 raised for a tax-exempt organization. Project applicants must hold a doTERRA rank of Elite or higher, and each organization can receive one match every two years, so this route runs through an advocate rather than a nonprofit applying on its own. TheShareWay's directory has no funder record for the foundation.
If doTERRA isn't an option
If your event is soon, your organization is religious, or you want better odds for a wellness or pampering basket, these donors cover similar prizes:
- Gourmet Gift Baskets donates toward gift baskets, and about 29% of requests succeed.
- SoJo Spa Club, in New Jersey, donates spa passes, and about 34% of requests succeed.
- Massage Envy donates gift cards, and about 10% of requests succeed.
