Charitable Contributions: Success Stories

My recent blog on end-of-year contributions and IRS requirements highlighted what companies and individuals must do to do it correctly. I wanted to share some recent success stories.

We were contacted by a company who wanted to donate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and products to Global Empowerment Mission in Miami, Florida. These entailed thousands of face masks. Global Empowerment (GEM) has supported missions in over 288 countries and the U.S in response to regional and global tragedies.  Its efforts have brought relief and resources to people suffering as result of the California wildfires, Venezuelan refugee crisis, cyclone in Mozambique, Haiti hurricanes, and Guatemalan volcano, just to name a few.

The one company that first contacted us has resulted in several more companies donating to GEM.  Again, more face masks, but also hand sanitizers and even Covid testing kits. And again, thousands upon thousands of face masks of all different types and bottles of sanitizers.

All we did was provide the donating company a certified valuation of the items being donated by our appraisers and completing the IRS 8283 noncash charitable contribution form which has to be signed by an appraiser.

And oh yes, we were contacted by another company that was donating PPE items along with infrared thermometers to the ACLU Georgia and Atlanta Food Bank. And another company in Illinois donating medical supplies and assistive devices. And this list goes on.

Certified Asset Appraisals performs appraisals on many different types of equipment and products. This effort has been special on so many fronts. It is gratifying to be of assistance to donors and these amazing donee organizations alike.  Let us help you as well.
