Donate Dental Equipment,
Supplies, and More

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 donation instructions, items not accepted, and location restrictions 
We use the donated equipment, when possible, to assist overseas mission dental clinics connected with our program. It is only through the generosity of people like you that we are able to help meet these needs. Donated equipment is inspected, renewed and shipped to these locations where they make a great difference in patient care. Additional contributions to assist with the costs of processing donated equipment is greatly appreciated.

  1. Complete and return the Letter of Intent Form, Receipts are based on details in the Letter of Intent. 
  2. We Will Verify With You the receipt of the Letter of Intent, and that listed items may be accepted. We may request photographs of equipment. Direct questions to our office email: [email protected].

Things to know...

  • Equipment: Should be in good and working condition.​
  • Is Your Location Eligible for Pickup?: Equipment located in most of Southern California counties would be eligible for a pickup. You may ship your donation to us if you are outside of our pickup area. Please contact the office for shipping instructions.
  • Pickup Specifics: Equipment & supplies should be disconnected and at ground level for pickup.
  • Pre-screening: Due to cost of shipping donated equipment overseas, items older than 1995 must be pre-screened. You may email a single photo of your item in question, along with the letter of intent, to [email protected].
NASDAD is unable to accept all donations if they cannot be be used effectively internationally. 
Because parts and expertise are often unavailable in international locations, and older equipment will likely require ongoing maintenance and repair, we have learned that some items cannot be utilized in the locations we serve.

How are equipment donations used?
We attempt to keep an assortment of items available so to meet the specific needs of overseas mission dental 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 later deemed not appropriate for our recipients, they may be donated to other nonprofits, sold, recycled, or traded to benefit our mission.
Donations valued at $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 defines what makes a qualified appraiser here.
​
This appraisal is not a NASDAD requirement, but an IRS requirement for non-cash donations.
