Click below to begin the process for donating your legacy IT equipment. You will be taken to a Google Forms page in order to provide the details of your proposed gift. In-kind donations are subject to approval.
In-kind donations will be tax-deductible for up to 40% of the equipment’s current resale value plus 40% of the cost of functionally replacing the equipment, pending IRS approval of Level 100's 501(c)(3) status. This can be a considerable benefit for enterprise-sized organizations.
In the next section is more information on the benefits of in-kind donations to your organization, as well as resources to facilitate the appraisal and tax compliance process.
One key benefit of your donation is an improvement to your organization’s tax position. The realization of this benefit requires a few steps.
First, Level 100 will furnish a letter acknowledging the donation and its contents, along with an itemized receipt for the same. Then, your organization will need to complete IRS Form 8283 (external link), “Noncash Charitable Contributions”, to submit with the income tax filing for the year of the donation.
For a donation of any asset worth more than $5,000, Part IV of IRS Form 8283 requires a signed declaration from a professional appraiser as to the value of the item. Because of this requirement, we recommended making a preliminary estimate of the value of the items donated in order to ensure that the savings of their potential tax deduction is sufficient to defray the appraisal cost for the items.
A number of resources are available online, both for preliminary estimates and for qualified appraisal services. We have prepared a short memorandum (Google Drive link) to serve as a starting point for those resources. In addition, a more detailed exploration of the advantages of donating equipment vs. the alternatives can be found here (external link).
