Is the goal to supply under-served populations with tools and equipment they would otherwise not be able to afford, or to have a more broad impact on society's treatment of certain populations? I'm not trying to get philosophical, just that the difference between the two will impact whether it's better to fund Riv's BRP or something like the ACLU.
Regardless, selling the parts and donating the funds is the easiest and most effective way to go I think. You could always ask Riv if they want the old parts I guess?
