The first charity designed by, and for, the storage industry
US Storage Centers $1,590
TKG StorageMart $1,443
Compass Self Storage $ 460
Charity Storage utilizes existing storage facility
operations, namely storage units and auctions,
to raise money to benefit the community.
Charity Storage is a promotional outreach
program that depends on the support of the
self storage industry, the Self Storage
Association (Charity Storage is SSA’s charity
partner), and millions of North American self
storage tenants and neighboring
communities.
• Participating storage operators
• Dedicate a storage unit from inventory
as a collection point for donated goods.
• Departing tenants, current tenants,
auction buyers, and local residents and
businesses can donate items to the
Charity Storage Unit and receive a tax
deductible receipt.
• When the storage facility holds a public
auction the Charity Storage Unit is sold
and the revenue allocated to local and
national charities.
It's really simple: the Storage Industry has the
space, donors have the items and Charity
Storage organizes the effort to convert these
items into cash to support local and national
charities.
• 60% to the charity you or your company
have selected
• 30% to Kure It Underfunded Cancer
Research
• 10% to the Self Storage Association
Foundation

The Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org) is an
international children’s charity with a sustainable
approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip
and palate. Millions of children in developing
countries with unrepaired clefts live in shame,
but more importantly, have difficulty eating,
breathing and speaking. Cleft repair surgery is
simple, and the transformation is immediate.
Their sustainable model provides training and
funding to empower local doctors in 85+
developing countries to provide 100%-free cleft
repair surgery in their communities.
Thanks to StorQuest Self Storage, Charity
Storage was able to donate $6,039 to Smile
Train!
Instead of giving a speech at his SSA
(www.selfstorage.org) Hall of Fame Induction,
Barry Hoeven, the founder of Kure It and
cofounder of Charity Storage, raised over
$270,000 for the SSA Foundation. The SSA
Foundation Scholarship Program provides
scholarship awards of up to $5,000 toward
postsecondary education tuition and fees.
With a humble beginning in Magalia, California
13-years ago, Extra Self-Storage (www.extra-
selfstorage.com) continues to emerge as a
model for the self-storage industry. With ten
locations in Northern California and Northern
Nevada, and new facilities in the near future,
Extra Self-Storage delivers a culture founded on
a mission to have fun, build relationships, and
give back to the community.
Since the inception of Extra Self-Storage, giving
back to the community has been a core belief,
and collaborating with Charity Storage has
helped to fortify the common goal and strengthen
its ties to the community. Each of the ten
facilities participates in community events by
bringing awareness to local charities and offering
space as a drop-off point for donations.
Thank you!

Kure It provides funding for innovative research

1998 while on a family vacation. Over the past
16 years, Barry and his family have been battling
this disease and raising money through Kure It,
reaching a recent milestone of $3 million!

StorageTreasures/StorageBattles.com is a
steadfast supporter of Charity Storage.
StorageTreasures is a new web based business
that will revolutionize the way in which the
contents of self storage units are marketed and
publicly auctioned after the lessee has failed to
pay rent.
The site will fill the gap between the operational
systems that the industry's currently utilizes and
the public buyer who may be interested in the
contents of a unit that is going to auction. The
tools StorageTreasures provides brings the
storage industry into conformity and exceeds the
intent and practice of the state laws governing
the Self Storage Industry.
StorageTreasures allows Charity Storage
auctions on it’s platform without charging
customary fees! US Storage Facility in Laguna Niguel
(www.usstoragecenters.com) has been doing
successful Charity Storage (CS) auctions for
years. Julie and Tony take the time to collect
gently used and desirable items for the CS unit.
Once it’s full, they carefully stage it, take quality
photos and post the auction online at
StorageTreasures.com. The Laguna Niguel
facility has to date raised $7,702 for Kure It and
the Self Storage Association Foundation.
