Can a charitable non-profit 501(c)3 organization purchase state surplus property?
Certain non-profits are eligible to apply to obtain federal and state surplus property. In accordance with the Code of Virginia, our procedures permit surplus materials to be sold to Virginia charitable corporations granted tax-exempt status under ยง 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code and operating as clinics for the indigent and uninsured. These entities must be organized for the delivery of primary health care services (1) as federally qualified health centers designated by the Health Care Financing Administration, or (2) at a reduced or sliding fee scale or without charge. Our policies provide more information, as does our eligibility page. The Federal Surplus Property Eligibility Application also provides information to qualify for federal surplus property.
