NAEIR is the “National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources.” We are dedicated to helping our donor companies with reducing and eliminating excess and unused inventory to free up warehouse storage space while taking advantage of potential IRS tax deductions under 170 (e)(3).
By offering these donated products to a screened and closed group of schools, teachers, churches, and other 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations, we can track the use of these donated items and protect your branding. Typically, our donors are for-profit companies and corporations with occasional or regular excess inventories.
Inventories generally include items such as school and office supplies, personal care, maintenance items, toys, arts and crafts supplies, clothing, and other items that NAEIR’s members may find value in.
Donations to NAEIR consistently reach $80 million annually. We make these donated items available to our over 60,000 member organizations for free.
Excess and unused inventory can be like unneeded weight on the back of your company. Excess inventory, returns, warehouse consolidation, and discontinued SKUs absorb resources and storage space and may even be in jeopardy of losing their value. NAEIR can help!
NAEIR works with a network of schools, teachers, churches and other 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations in constant need of a variety of items including office supplies, books, educational materials, electronics, office supplies, toiletries, and more.
When you donate your excess or unused inventory through NAEIR, you are assured items are going directly to these screened organizations. There are no wholesalers or liquidators. We protect your brand every step of the way!
It is a win-win system where deserving schools, teachers, churches and other 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations can get much-needed supplies for only a small handling and processing fee, while we relieve your company of the burden on excess and unused inventory.
Since 1977, NAEIR has helped over 8,000 companies save money, clear out warehouse space, support good causes, and take advantage of IRS deductions all in one simple step. When you donate through NAEIR, you are helping to support schools, teachers, churches, other 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations, and your bottom line. We ensure donated items don’t end up on the open market, protecting your brand and pricing structure.
At NAEIR, we keep detailed accounting of all donations and the organizations who received them. This is critical for donor companies when tax time comes around.
