Overview

Mission

WIN Warehouse connects nonprofits with excess inventory from corporations at a greatly discounted rate, allowing nonprofits to do more good with the resources their donors have generously given them.

What it reported doing in 2024

Participating 501(c)3 organizations received excess, inventory items of donor companies for a shared management fee, which is a small fraction of the donated value. Accordingly, no 2024revenue is treated as revenue from an "excess contributor" on schedule a.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 94% of its reported program spending out as grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
