Service Fees

As of August 31, 2020, Delivering Good initiated a new set of service fees to help support our charitable mission.

• First, we are asking all donors to cover the cost of shipping their donations.

• If paying for freight costs is not feasible for the donor, there are a set of modest fees, based on the services needed.

• A flat fee of $500-$1,000 per shipment, regardless of the size of the shipment, for any shipment where donors are unable to pay for freight costs.

Tax Information

Depending on a company’s corporate structure, the tax benefit of donating excess inventory can be very advantageous, while also making a difference for people in need. Section 170(e)(3) of the US Internal Revenue code permits regular (C) corporations to deduct the lower of: 1) The cost of the products plus one-half of the difference between the cost and the fair market selling price, or 2) Twice the cost

Section 170(e)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code permits “S” corporations or a partnership company to earn a straight cost deduction. Consult your tax advisor to determine what the deduction would be in your case.
