Good morning! By Iowa law, Iowa State University has a surplus department to which excess property is sent and ISU surplus then makes the items available for sale, first within the university, and then to the public. You may have the same set-up.
Our situation: We have hundreds of used blankets that the department of residence needs to dispose of. It is not feasible for ISU Surplus to try to sell hundreds of blankets. ISU wants to donate them to charity. Question: With so many charities out there, how do we select a not-for-profit to which to donate the blankets? The logistics of parceling the blankets out to numerous charities might become unwieldy, but a few might be okay. We can find them, we just don't know how to fairly/equitably select which ones. Do you have a protocol for this sort of thing? Thanks! Sheryl Sheryl Rippke Policy Administrator Office of University Counsel Iowa State University 515-294-1385
