Abalone Donor Information
It all begins with the want to connect, to go “beyond the shell”...
Thank you! Thank you for your interest in participating in The Abalone Collective as a red abalone donor. Our team and the artists thank you.
As a donor you will receive a complementary @dahoodscientist x @beyond_the_shell sticker!
In order to become a donor we ask that you fill out The Abalone Collective Google Form and read our Abalone Donor Terms and Conditions. Your application as well as the artists and sponsors are all reviewed by our advisory board team.
Please keep in mind that as a donor you will be asked to provide your own shipping materials. If this is not accessible to you we have sponsors ready to help pay for materials, please indicate this need when filling out the google form. For advice on our suggested shipment protocol please visit our: Abalone Shipment Protocol Page.
*At this time we are only accepting donations from within the state of California due to the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3371-3378). We hope to someday expand this collective beyond the state of California. If you have an interest in donating in the future and are out of state please still fill out the survey to be added to our donor out-of-state waitlist. We will send you a sticker even prior to donation when this survey has been filled out.
**If you wish to participate in the collective and are out of state a great alternative is to join our Abalone Sponsors.
*** Please keep in mind each artist is limited to a total of five red abalone shells at this time. This means if you have more than five shells to donate you may be asked to send out more than one shipment to multiple artists. Once all artists have received their maximum number of shells and the artist waitlist is empty this resets and artists may receive shells again after having already received five donations.
