Office Furniture Donation
Office furniture NYC and our partners are honored to work with the NGOs and Private charities that do good works in our region and around the world.
Our main project is a furniture match service. Each year, we hear from hundreds of companies who are liquidating offices and have furniture to donate. Whenever possible, we love to match those clients and their gently used office furniture with the organizations who are making a difference and repairing the world.
With a furniture donation, there are still costs involved. You will need a mover to pickup the office furniture from the liquidating party and install it at your facility. You would be well advised to also have a project manager or architect to coordinate the project and make sure everything fits where you would like it to.
If you do not have companies you work with who can do this work, we can recommend companies who have agreed to help our NGO clients at reduced rates.
The more time you have, the better. We typically see the best results with those who have 1-3 months before a project to get the work done.
To get started, contact us bellow with your requirements.
This service is only available to not for profit organizations. Small business, startup offices and the like should contact our main office to see our inventory of high quality used office furniture at reasonable rates.
So this a free service? Will it cost us anything? We do not charge you anything, but there is usually some cost associated.
We can almost always find someone to donate the furniture to you, but we are not able to provide the labor or equipment to move that furniture. You will need to hire a professional to layout the furniture for your new space and you will need to hire a mover to move it from the move-out to your office.
Can you recommend a mover or architect who likes to do pro-bona / free work for non-profits? No*. The moving companies and move consultants we know who can donate their services do not want us to advertise that fact. If your organization has access to these service providers, please contact them directly. A good place to start is your own supporters list. It is likely that some one who donates to you is an architect or space planner or a mover.
What should I budget for this project? To move a truck full of furniture from one Manhattan building to another can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000 depending on the quantity of product and the type of building you are moving to/from. We can help with a budget number, but you will need to research this a bit also. If you need 4-5 desks and a conference table and some files and chairs, you will likely spend under 3k moving all that to your new space.
I just need one Steelcase model 1234 task chair in fabric 54321 purple with light orange stripes. Can you help me find it or point me in the right direction?
Yikes! No! If you are looking for something very specific, like a custom traditional maple 2dr lateral file or a specific model of chair, this is not going to work out. If you need something common, this could be a great fit.
Who has benefited from these donations in the past? Starting in May 2010 we are keeping a list of those organisations we have helped with furniture donation. Here are a few.
Do donating firms require anything of us? Often they ask you to cover any elevator charges you incur while moving their furniture. Most commercial buildings in Manhattan require a COI from a licensed moving company to move materials through their freight elevators going into or out of their buildings.
