For IT managers and MSPs

A simple option for client hardware

When clients replace equipment, you need a place to send the old devices. Donation is a simple option that clients appreciate.

How to send us equipment

Send a list per client or per site with models, quantities and drive status. Single devices ship after approval; groups can be picked up.

Release devices from Intune, Jamf, Google Admin and other management tools before pickup.

Certificates for your clients

We wipe every device with Acronis before reuse. A certificate of data destruction is available on request.

Receipts and the tax side

Giving Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides a written acknowledgment listing the equipment received. For equipment your business depreciated, the deduction is generally limited to its remaining tax basis, so fully depreciated equipment may deduct little or nothing.

Starting with the 2026 tax year, C corporations can deduct charitable gifts only above 1% of taxable income, up to 10%. Ask your tax advisor how a donation fits your situation. Our tax guide explains the rules in more detail.

From list to pickup

We review every donation before anything moves. We can't promise acceptance or a timeline, but we'll reply with next steps.

  1. 1

    Send your list

    Counts by type, brands, condition and an estimated value. A spreadsheet or photos are fine.

  2. 2

    We review it

    We let you know what we can use and plan the next step with you.

  3. 3

    Pickup or shipping

    Bulk donations are picked up in all states. Smaller ones ship after approval.

Your data

Every device is wiped with Acronis before it's reused. Businesses can request a certificate of data destruction for their records.

If your policy requires it, you can remove drives before donating. Just note it on the form.

Receipts and taxes
