For manufacturers and brands

Donate Excess Inventory From Your Plant or DC

Production overruns, discontinued SKUs, packaging changes and slow movers donated with full documentation.

C corporations may qualify for the enhanced deduction under IRC Section 170(e)(3), which can make donation cheaper than destruction.

  • Businesses pay a flat fee per pallet or per truckload. Nonprofits never pay.
  • Tax donation receipt from the 501(c)(3) for your deduction
  • Vetted recipients with signed no resale terms
  • Anything that cannot be donated is recycled or destroyed with a certificate
