    About National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources

    National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources Inc works as a conduit between companies with excess inventory and nonprofit organizations, educators, and churches, redistributing donated goods under IRC Section 170(e)(3). That model defines the funder’s grantmaking: its recent awards support members and partner organizations that receive material resources rather than cash, with many awards tied to care of ill, needy, or minor beneficiaries. The largest recent grants reach into the millions, including a $9,167,846 award to Resources Exchange Association in Burlington, North Carolina and a $6,494,938 award to Cis Development Foundation Inc in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Those grants sit alongside repeated support for organizations serving families, children, and community-based aid work. The foundation’s membership programs also show how it operates: vetted nonprofits, schools, churches, and teachers can access surplus office supplies, school supplies, furniture, arts and crafts, maintenance items, janitorial goods, and other donated inventory. Recent grant records show recurring relationships with organizations such as Native American Heritage Association and Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship, indicating a pattern of multi-year support rather than isolated awards.

    What National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources Funds

    The foundation’s clearest focus is in-kind support for education and basic needs. In education, it gave $1,351,358 to The Teacher's Desk Inc in Buffalo, New York, and its active teacher program provides registered teachers access to donated classroom supplies and educational materials. In community support and direct aid, it awarded $2,440,174 to United Breast Cancer Foundation in Arnold, Maryland and $446,167 to Cityserve Michigan in Grand Rapids, Michigan, both under the same care-of-ill, needy, or minor framework. Human services also appear in grants to Family Life Fellowship in Moberly, Missouri, including $1,051,784 in 2023 and $497,967 in 2025. The foundation’s inventory-based structure connects these areas: office and school supplies, furniture, arts and crafts, and maintenance and janitorial items are all part of the resource stream it redistributes.

    How National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources Gives

    Grant sizes cluster in the low-thousands to low-tens-of-thousands for many awards, with a typical range of p25 $6,818, median $11,143, and p75 $22,427. The recent record also includes much larger distributions, showing that the foundation can make awards at very different scales within the same year. The grant list suggests recurring support: several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2025, including Resources Exchange Association, Cis Development Foundation Inc, North Star Foundation Inc, Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship, Native American Heritage Association, United Breast Cancer Foundation, Family Life Fellowship, and Grace Church. It is classified as a Regular Funder, and the active programs show unsolicited access is accepted through member-based in-kind donation programs.
