Donate Dental Equipment

If you would like to donate dental equipment, NASDAD might be able to help! If we are able to help coordinate your donation, we will be able to send you a tax deductible receipt!

On this page you will learn about:

  • How equipment donations are used
  • Deductions of $5,000 or more
  • Deinstallation and Removal of Equipment
  • Donation of Xray and Xray Equipment
  • The donation process
  • Required documents for making a donation – Letter of Intent

The equipment must be in good and working condition.

The equipment must be located in the Los Angeles, Orange county, or San Bernardino area of southern California. If you are outside of this area, please contact the office to see if a special arrangement is possible.


How equipment donations are used:

We try to keep an assortment of items available so when we get requests from our overseas mission clinics we have items to give to them!

Deductions of $5,000 or more

Generally, if the claimed deduction for an item or group of similar items of donated property is more than $5,000, you must get a qualified appraisal made by a qualified appraiser, and you must attach Section B of Form 8283 to your tax return. There are exceptions, discussed later. You should keep the appraiser’s report with your written records. Records are discussed in Publication 526.
