Donation Guidelines for Nonprofits

At Good360, we’re proud to work alongside nonprofits that deliver critical goods to communities in need. To ensure continued access to these donations and maintain the trust of our corporate partners, it’s essential that all donated goods are used in accordance with our guidelines.

Donation Guidelines for Nonprofits

Upholding the Integrity of Donations

At Good360, our commitment to compliance and transparency doesn’t stop once a donation is delivered. To ensure donated goods are being used appropriately, our compliance team actively monitors nonprofit activity, including scanning resale platforms like eBay. We compile weekly reports to identify and review any irregularities. If we suspect a violation of Good360’s donation guidelines, we will investigate promptly and notify the donor. In some cases, we may implement additional safeguards to protect the integrity of the donation program.

Proper use of donated goods:

Your organization may use donated goods only as direct charitable donations to people in need.
Your organization must not sell, trade, barter, or otherwise transfer any donated goods in exchange for money, property, or services. Prohibited transfers include listing the donated goods for sale or trade on websites, in stores, at flea markets, or in any similar manner.
Your organization must not use donated goods for raffles, auctions, or any fundraising activity.
Your organization must not accept anything of value (including voluntary donations) in exchange for the donated goods.
Your organization must not give any donated goods to its volunteers, officers, directors, employees, or contractors for personal use.
Your organization must not return any donated goods to the manufacturer or to any retail store.
Your organization must not give donations to another nonprofit organization or other entity.
Your organization must not redistribute any donated goods to any location outside of the United States (unless Good360 has given written permission in advance).

Report Donation Misuse — Protect Our Network and Mission

If you see a nonprofit that is potentially misusing Good360 donations or violating any of these restrictions, let us know.

The nonprofit may not realize they’re breaking the rules or willfully violating Good360’s terms and conditions.

Misuse of donations hurts Good360 and all the nonprofits that benefit through generous corporate donors.
