Industrial Equipment Donation

Donating industrial equipment like forklifts, dump trucks, and loaders to Rawhide is quick and easy and, it can help change a life!

Rawhide's experienced, knowledgeable Sales staff is committed to maximizing the funds generated from your donation in order to benefit the boys in our care and to maximize your tax benefits. According to the current tax law, donors are allowed to claim up to $500 or the amount Rawhide is able to sell the equipment for.

The income generated by the sale of donated forklifts, dump trucks, loaders and other equipment allows Rawhide to provide quality education, counseling, and work experience training as well as food, clothing, and a loving family environment to at-risk young men.

Rawhide does not use a third party to process donations; all donations are handled directly by our Sales staff. They will process the paperwork and handle the logistics of obtaining and then selling your equipment donation.

After receiving your donation, we will evaluate it and review any information you may have provided about the donation. Inspection of the engine, interior, and exterior will help us determine the overall condition of the equipment and whether or not to invest in making any repairs. We will then determine the best place to sell your donated item. Rawhide sells most equipment donations on eBay, which gives your donation international exposure and allows us to obtain the highest sale price possible.

Consideration of Repairs

Rawhide does not make repairs to all equipment. Items in need of repair may still provide a financial benefit to Rawhide. Our Certified Mechanics and Sales staff inspect each item that is donated and decide to make repairs based on the return on investment. Generally, if the repairs cost more than the item is valued at or if it will not increase the resale value of the donation we will not make the repair. The decision to make a repair is at the sole discretion of Rawhide staff.
