Please note: This program runs from February 1 through November 30 each year. Organizations can reapply annually for consideration. 

Our surplus equipment warehouse has items available for donation to nonprofit organizations located in and serving communities within the Kaiser Permanente Northwest service area. Any qualified tax-exempt organization may apply for a donation.

Kaiser Permanente does not take specific requests for items. All donated items are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Nonprofit organizations must intend to use the donated items themselves. They may not obtain surplus property from the warehouse for the purpose of selling the items.

All nonprofit organizations are required to sign a bill of sale at the time of donation and to send an acknowledgment letter to Kaiser Permanente.
