Do you want to donate dental equipment or supplies? If so, NASDAD might be able to help! If we are able to help coordinate your donation*, we will be able to send you a tax deductible receipt!
*see below for items not accepted and location restrictions 

We use the donated equipment, when possible, to assist overseas mission dental clinics that are connected to the program. It is only through the generosity of people like you that we are able to give them equipment.

Required Documents & Summary of Important Info

The Letter of Intents below are identical except one is fillable from your computer and the other must be printed and filled out by hand.
How equipment donations are used
We attempt to keep an assortment of items available so we have items to donate to specific overseas mission clinics. The dental resources we receive are assessed and, if appropriate, refurbished and carefully matched to the specific needs of our recipients. If any of the resources we receive are not appropriate for our recipients, they may be donated to other nonprofits, sold, recycled, or traded to benefit our mission.
Deinstallation & removal of equipment
All equipment being donated must be disconnected prior to pick up. Equipment will not be unhooked or disconnected by the driver or person picking up the donation!!

If your donation is where stairs may be necessary for removal, with no available elevator, it is your responsibility have it relocated to the main floor prior to the arrival of the volunteer for pickup.
​
Deductions of $5,000 or more
The IRS information page about non-cash donations can be found here. The IRS may require a professional appraisal to accompany your tax information for any non-cash donation valuing $5000 or more. NASDAD is not a qualified appraiser. The IRS talks about what makes a qualified appraiser here.
​
The appraisal is not a NASDAD requirement but an IRS requirement.

​Please contact the NASDAD office if your non-cash donation will be valued at $5000 or more.
