SHARING RESOURCES FOR
A BRIGHTER FUTURE !

Pronounced like “share,” NAEIR (National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources) has connected excess inventory from businesses to schools, nonprofits, and churches since 1977. Based in Galesburg, IL, NAEIR helps members stretch their budgets by providing access to free merchandise donations from top national corporations—everything from office and school supplies to furniture, arts and crafts, maintenance, and janitorial items.

Donor companies may qualify for tax deductions of up to twice the cost of their donated inventory under IRS Section 170(e)(3). Working with NAEIR ensures surplus products benefit verified schools, teachers, non-profits, and churches while maintaining brand integrity. For almost 50 years, NAEIR has been transforming lives by turning excess into opportunity—one donation at a time.

What We Do

At NAEIR, we transform surplus inventory into meaningful support for communities. Instead of traditional methods like wholesaling or liquidating, which can risk brand integrity, we provide businesses with a smarter, responsible solution.

Our thoroughly vetted 501(c)(3) nonprofit, church, school, and teacher members ensure every donation serves a valuable purpose. This ensures companies maximize their IRS tax benefits while advancing social good. We also handle storage and distribution of donated products, easing logistical burdens for our donors so they can focus on their core business and missions.

In addition to excess inventory solutions, NAEIR also offers in-kind giving programs (often part of broader community impact initiatives) and returns programs, providing companies with flexible, mission-driven ways to donate. To learn more about our donor programs or discuss the best fit for your organization, contact our team.

Nonprofits, churches, schools, and teachers benefit by accessing essential products for nominal handling and processing fees, allowing them to better allocate resources to critical programs and expand their impact. Together, we turn excess into opportunity, creating lasting positive change.

A Customer-Focused Approach

NAEIR places great importance on customer service and ensuring customer satisfaction. This is our guiding principle when working with our non-profit members and companies that support us with donations. It will be a straightforward and enjoyable experience to work with our team. 

Regardless of whether you are a teacher in a classroom, a large regional or national non-profit organization looking to stretch your budget, or a small or large for-profit company with excess materials, we have tailored solutions to fit your needs.

Empowering Nonprofits and Educators

NAEIR empowers nonprofits, schools, and educators by providing access to free essential products, including educational supplies, personal care items, cleaning supplies, and more. NAEIR does not resell these products, but does charge nominal handling and processing fees to help cover the costs of acquiring and distributing them. Qualifying members—such as teachers, churches, schools, and nonprofits—can apply to access these resources and stretch their budgets further. By joining NAEIR, you can amplify your impact and better serve your community.
