Where Can I Find Donated Office Furniture

Desks, chairs, bookshelves, filing cabinets--furnishing an office can be a significant expense for any company, and a popular question to ask is: Where can I find donated office furniture?

Donated office furniture is not only less expensive, it is also a fantastic way to bring attention to environmentally friendly business practices. Of course new desks and chairs are shiny and exciting, but a little paint and new upholstery can go a long way towards giving used pieces new life.

Finding donated office furniture is no easy task, but there are a few great places to look.

Based in Godfrey, Illinois, Beverly Farm is a planned community that provides adults with developmental disabilities a place to live, a way to develop life skills, and offers medical care and therapies. It is situated on 220 acres with ample green space.

If you have a Colorado-based non-profit business, check out Providers’ Resource Clearinghouse (PRC), located in Aurora, just outside of Denver. The non-profit was started in 1993 by a group of community leaders from the business and non-profit sectors who wanted to "bridge the gap between struggling human-service providers and businesses seeking to serve the community through in-kind giving."

For more than a decade and a half the clearinghouse has refurbished and redistributed more than $28 million worth of goods and supplies to 1,500+ community agencies throughout the Denver-metro area.

PRC accepts office furniture donations from companies and individuals and then recycles and redistributes them to other non-profits for a small fee. If your organization qualifies as a Colorado non-profit contact PRC for information about how to obtain donated office furnishings for your company.

L.A. Shares is a non-profit program that receives tax-deductible donations of reusable office furnishings and other goods from the local business community. They redistribute these items free of charge to non-profits and schools throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

The organization has created an interactive website for interested schools and non-profits who can create an online profile of their organization and then come up with a “Wish List” and “Top 20 List” of items they need. This profile is uploaded into the L.A. Shares database, which matches the needs of the non-profit with donated items.

To date L.A. Shares has redistributed more than $80,000,000 worth of goods and materials to more than 2,500 local organizations.
