Can we donate useable demolition materials such as doors, light fixtures, millwork, and hardware to charitable organizations such as Habitat for Humanity?
No. Federal agencies cannot donate property directly to a donee. Property donated via GSA’s Federal Surplus Personal Property Donation Program is transferred to State Agencies for Surplus Property (SASPs), established by law in each State, territory, and the District of Columbia. The SASP, in turn, makes distribution to donee recipients within the state. Being a charitable organization by itself does not qualify an organization as eligible to participate in the donation program. Using guidelines established by GSA, the SASP determines if an applicant is eligible to receive property for most public and nonprofit activities (FMR 102-37.385 (a)). Guidelines identify donee eligibles as a public agency, a nonprofit educational or public health institution, a program for older individuals, providers of assistance to the homeless, and providers of assistance to impoverished families and individuals (FMR 102-37.385 (a), FMR 102-37.390, and FMR 102-37.380).
