We are a social enterprise committed to enriching lives, not landfills.
Supporting the Circular Economy
The Charity Hub is redefining how corporations give back by transforming excess inventory into social, environmental, and charitable impact.
We help global manufacturers, distributors, retailers, brands, 3PL companies and more turn their inventory into cash donations for charity through the responsible and strategic monetization of those goods.
Through our partnerships, TCH generates what every nonprofit needs most – cash to fund their programs and services – all while solving challenging inventory issues for businesses and extending the useful lives of goods, supporting a company’s commitment to Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) goals.
TCH coordinates all logistics, leverages its global partner network for distribution, and then donates up to 50% of its net profits to the suppliers’ chosen causes.
Transforming excess into impact – it’s a big win all around!
A Company with the Spirit of a Nonprofit
The Charity Hub officially launched in 2021 with a mission to help reduce consumer product waste in both the forward supply chain and the reverse logistics (customer returns) chain while generating cash for nonprofits and a positive impact for our communities.
As a social enterprise with deep experience in retail, inventory management & operations, liquidation, and philanthropic giving, The Charity Hub team has created a unique solution that transforms excess inventory into something powerful – cash for charities. We have donated more than $500,000 to numerous charitable causes.
Our strength is efficiently and responsibly moving inventory, and our power is giving back to those who need it most while protecting our planet from unnecessary waste.
