Donating inventory to First Book directly impacts the life of a child in need– and improves your bottom line.
For more than 30 years, First Book has transformed the lives of children in need by making brand-new, high-quality books, school supplies, toys, personal care items, and other essentials available and affordable to the educators and kids who need them most. Each year, we reach more than 6.5 million children. To date, we have distributed more than 250 million critical resources to educators and kids in all 50 states and Canada.
We partner with outstanding companies that care about making a difference on behalf of kids and heroic educators. Tax-deductible gifts of brand-new excess, obsolete, or discontinued inventory support and empower educators to address the critical needs of their students and communities.
Donating inventory to First Book is not only good for kids and educators, but also for companies. There are immediate benefits– like freeing up warehouse space and diverting hundreds of tons of inventory from landfills– as well as long-term benefits:


Product donations are available to educators through the First Book Marketplace. Unlike other programs, educators have 24-hour, year-round access to choose the resources that best meet the needs of their individual students. No need to wait for a local event or be chosen from a list! Educators pay nominal shipping and processing, and products are shipped right to their door.
We accept only brand-new products. Don’t see your product on this list? We love getting creative and are happy to chat with you!
We would love to explore ways to work together and provide many more books and resources to kids who need them.
