Product Donations

Every Item Makes a Difference

Help those in need by donating new or slightly used items to Matthew 25: Ministries. We accept product donations from corporations, organizations and individuals nationwide, including items that are misprinted, slightly damaged, over-stocked or gently used. These donations are sorted in our warehouse and then redistributed to the poorest of the poor and disaster victims in the United States and around the world.

We are in need of gently used clothing, non-perishable food, school supplies, and more! For recommended items to donate, please read the list of supplies we ship below. For information on donating pill bottles, please review our guidelines.

Corporate Tax Information:

Section 170(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code allows corporations an additional tax deduction when they donate their inventory to 501(c)(3) humanitarian relief organizations such as Matthew 25: Ministries. The total deduction equals the donor corporation’s cost of the inventory as shown in their accounting records plus one-half the difference between fair market value of the donated inventory and the donor corporation’s cost. The total deduction cannot exceed twice the cost of the inventory items.

Donor’s cost + 0.5(market value – donor’s cost) = Total Deduction

The donor corporation can only claim this additional deduction for inventory items, not for capital items such as equipment. Also, the donor corporation cannot have already written the items completely off of their books. The donor corporation must obtain a statement from the charity that the use of the donated property meets the requirements of Section 170(e)(3). Matthew 25: Ministries furnishes the required documentation to the donor corporation. Contact butch@m25m.org for additional information.
