You can do this as well. In the end, the bottom line is that your favorite charity would receive desperately needed operating capital. It might be that, as a donor, you have a special situation where you can convert your donated item more effectively than iDonate. In that rare case, your charity might be better off if you did sell it yourself and give them the money directly.

However, consider the following:

• How much of your most valuable asset (your time) will it take you to do this?
• How much is your time worth?
• Are you confident that you can get the highest price for the donated item?
• How much will it cost you get appropriate appraisals (if needed), list the item for sale, interface with potential buyers (and un-potential buyers), handle funds, etc.

iDonate was created solely to support selected non-profit organizations in creating a new funding source while simultaneously not taking the donors time, or the non-profit?s highly limited resources.

Once you donate the item to your favorite charitable organization, they become the owner of the item. In the rare event an item is accepted by iDonate on behalf of your favorite charitable organization but the item cannot be sold the first time, iDonate will attempt to sell the item a second time using the same or an alternate market.

If after two attempts a sale is still not procured, iDonate at its discretion may attempt to liquidate the item again. If the item does not sell then iDonate will contact the represented charitable organization inquiring as to whether or not they would like to pick up the unsold item. If the non-profit does not make arrangements to pick up the item within 15 days, iDonate will donate the item to a non-profit charitable organization of our choice. If no charitable organization would like the item, iDonate reserves the right to dispose the item in any manner we deem appropriate. iDonate will never take ownership of any donations made to our non-profit partners.

Upon receipt or pickup of your donated item by iDonate, your favorite charitable organization becomes the owner of the item. iDonate provides the turn-key liquidation service for your favorite non-profit (e.g. merchandise pick up, inventory, auction, shipping, conversion into cash), but ownership remains with the charity.

In USA, most often the 'fair market value' of the item can be deducted. Depending upon market conditions, the fair market value is often quite higher than the actual selling price. In many cases, when you factor in the value of your time, the tax donation benefit can often outweigh trying to sell the item yourself.

With the exception of marketable securities, donor's who wish to claim a tax deduction for donated items of non-cash gifts exceeding $5000 must substantiate the valuation with an expert appraisal - which iDonate will entirely facilitate and pay for.

However, tax guidelines are highly specific and change regularly therefore iDonate strongly recommends that you consult your tax advisor for individual and specific detail.

Your favorite non-profit charitable organization will provide you with your 'gift-in-kind' tax receipt. However, iDonate will deliver the gift receipt to you via email upon inventory and confirmation of your donated item.

iDonate partners solely with non-profit organizations (NPO) providing them a 'complete turn-key' donor asset conversion service for items valued as low as $75, which allows the NPO access to cash they would not otherwise obtain. Today, iDonate is the leader to the NPO industry in providing donors a convenient new way of giving, converting the donation into cash, and supplying NPO's with a much needed new source of revenue- without the NPO having to incur risk or draw on their limited resources.

The following are some of the services iDonate provides our NPO clients with no out-of-pocket expense:

• Donor marketing materials and collateral
• Website interface and call center support
• Certified appraisals when required
• Administrative requirements - paperwork such as 'gift-in-kind' receipts

• Liquidation & conversion to cash
• Financial processing - funds transferred to non-profit
