| From a single pallet to multiple truckloads, Materials Matter can handle all your excess inventory and donated product. We are proud to deliver excellent service to our donors and strive to make donating a hassle-free experience. With just one phone call to Materials Matter, your product can be quickly and efficiently picked-up and distributed to many worthy nonprofit organizations.
What Are The Benefits Of Donating To Materials Matter?
Federal Income Tax Deduction
Under Section 170(e)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, regular (C) corporations may deduct the cost of the inventory donated, PLUS half the difference between cost and fair market value. Deductions may be up to twice cost. S corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships earn a straight cost deduction. Many of our donors earn this tax deduction.
Clear Out Warehouse Space And Save Money
Another reason companies donate is to clear out valuable, costly warehouse space while saving the headache of working with for-profit liquidators. Often it is a straight, bottom-line decision.
Donating your excess inventory to Materials Matter is also a hassle-free experience. Our staff is courteous and professional, and will handle your donation quickly and efficiently. Plus, we charge NO FEES for transporting your product to our warehouse.
Inventory Management
Since Materials Matter collects donated goods at any point of distribution, donation becomes a far more attractive alternative to product returns. You can eliminate reverse logistics involved in phasing out products and actually use your charitable giving to facilitate inventory management.
Enjoy Cause Marketing and PR Benefits
Many companies choose to donate because it generates positive recognition and media attention for the company. Our Fund Development and Communications Team will work with you to meet your company's PR and cause marketing objectives.
It’s The “Green” Thing To Do
Donating excess product also produces positive environmental benefits. You can rest easy knowing your products and reusable materials will be diverted from local landfills and reinvested into the community where they are needed most.
Help Charitable Organizations That You Care About:
Donated product is first used to help other organizations in need. Materials Matter is networked with charities all over the world, and distributes donations locally, nationally and internationally. These charities are all certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations building affordable and shelter housing or providing essential services to their communities.
Some donations are also sold directly to low-income families at 50-80 percent below retail in our Home Improvement Outlet. The proceeds from their sale directly benefit our other nonprofit programs, ensuring that we capture your donation's maximum value.
