​​What does Donate Good Stuff do?

We help you find the best home for your donation items so you can make a difference with things you no longer need and positively impact nonprofits and environment through re-use.
Together, we make a direct, positive impact, and change the world....locally

Donate and Do Good
  • ​Find local organizations that value and use your donations.
  • Reduce your carbon footprint through reuse.
  • Make a positive impact on neighbors (and animals) in need.
  • Donate to help in your community.
  • Make a difference with unexpected things: WW2 memorabilia, a spinning wheel, a child's bike, an entire bag of unused travel sized shampoos, business suits a size too small, tools, computers.....
           ...Who knows what you have that can help someone else! 


​From the Founder

There had to be a better way than spending hours at my computer.... except there wasn't.

We had a lot of extra stuff after family members passed away. I wanted it to have a new life and do good. I quickly and painfully realized there was no easy way to search all the different organizations that needed things, and I wasn't willing to part with everything through a donation center.
I got to work and created Donate Good Stuff so others in the same situation would have a resource.
​Our vision is to create a more connected, generous, and greener world. ​
We do this by making it easier to donate items where they will do good.

I wanted my donations to make a difference and not to simply be resold or recycled (or risk being trashed). The search tool on DonateGoodStuff.org makes it easier to get your donations to the best possible place. Plus, you can see the direct impact of your donation right in the search. I hope these features make donating easier and more fulfilling.
​After 4 years of making Donate Good Stuff a resource locally, in 2019, I said goodbye to my corporate career to do something I believe makes the world a better place now and for those who come after us. Our plan is to grow DonateGoodStuff.org to become the #1 resource in the U.S. for people with donation items.
​The DonateGoodStuff.org team will continue to expand to new communities, add new features, help organizations reach out to the people around them, create less waste, and make a difference for every person (or animal) that receives your donations through a local charity.

Thank you for being part of the DonateGoodStuff.org community!
