Donation Requests

To request a donation from the Los Angeles Lakers, please visit our Lakers Donation Request Page and submit a request online at least 6 weeks prior to your organization's event date.

All requests are reviewed one month prior to the event date. Due to the high volume of requests that we receive, donations are made to organizations in Southern California only.

The Lakers have a limited number of tickets designated for group donations throughout the season. These tickets are to be used to bring a group from your organization to a game and not as individual incentives or prizes. Please visit our Group Ticket Request Guidelines page to get complete details and the form to submit your request.

NOTE: If you are requesting donated tickets for a fundraising event, please follow the regular donation request guidelines by visiting the Lakers Donation Request Page.

Please be aware that we cannot arrange for meet and greets with players, even for just an autograph or photo, while the team is on the road. Due to overwhelming demand, we limit the meet and greets with players that we do schedule to charities and non-profits and are unable to arrange these for individual fans. We are also unable to arrange to get an item sent to us signed by a player. Please do not send any item to be autographed, we cannot guarantee your item will be returned and we will not be responsible for lost items.
