Turn excess inventory into a force for good by connecting corporate donors with nonprofit members and distributing donated products at deeply reduced handling fees to support nonprofit missions.
Worldwide Inventory Network Inc centers its grantmaking on a single operating model: distributing donated assets to tax-exempt organizations. Its three largest recent grants all went to Various in St Louis, MO, for the same purpose, with awards of $32,909,593 in 2024, $24,551,315 in 2023, and $19,050,584 in 2025. That pattern shows a funder built around moving inventory rather than issuing many small cash grants. The foundation works through donated inventory redistribution, logistics and warehousing, and program-specific distributions. The organization’s public description says it connects corporate donors with nonprofit members and distributes donated products at deeply reduced handling fees to support nonprofit missions. Active programs include Operation Toy Deploy, which acquires and distributes brand-new toys through nonprofit partners, and WIN Nonprofit Membership, which gives qualified nonprofits access to donated inventory and discounted goods. Worldwide Inventory Network Inc also functions as an intermediary for other tax-exempt entities. Its recent grants are tied to the distribution of donated assets, and its beneficiary base is limited to tax-exempt organizations. The result is a grantmaking profile focused on pass-through support, in-kind assets, and operational access for nonprofit partners.
A central part of the foundation’s work is donated inventory redistribution. Its recent grant records show $32,909,593 in 2024 to Various in St Louis, MO, for distributing donated assets to other tax-exempt organizations, a pattern that aligns with its inventory-transfer model. Another focus is child and holiday support through product distribution. Operation Toy Deploy acquires and distributes brand-new toys to nonprofit partners for holiday or child-focused distributions, and partner nonprofits receive the toys at significantly reduced cost. The foundation also supports operational capacity for nonprofits through access to goods and equipment. WIN Nonprofit Membership gives qualified nonprofits access to donated inventory and discounted products, including browsing the online catalog, Deals of the Week, and quick fulfillment or warehouse pickup in St Louis. Its activity also includes logistics and warehousing, which supports the movement of donated products to nonprofit members.

Worldwide Inventory Network Inc’s grant sizes are large and tightly clustered. The typical grant size sits at $26,640,884 at the 25th percentile, $28,730,454 at the median, and $30,820,024 at the 75th percentile, suggesting a narrow range around major asset-distribution awards. The recent record also points to continuity rather than one-off giving: the same “Various” recipient in St Louis, MO appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with the same distribution purpose. The organization is a public charity, not a private foundation, and it does not fund individuals. It also does not make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are accepted through its active programs.
Grant activity is concentrated in Missouri, with 100% of recipient grants going to the US and the top state by grant count also Missouri. The recent grants list places recipients in St Louis, MO, which matches the foundation’s local giving scope. Its active membership and pickup operations also reference St Louis, reinforcing that the organization’s grantmaking and distribution activity is centered there rather than spread across multiple states or countries.
It supports tax-exempt organizations, including other nonprofits and 501(c)(3) entities. Its grantmaking is structured around distributing donated assets, and its active membership program gives qualified nonprofits access to donated inventory and discounted goods and equipment.
Its grant sizes are large and tightly grouped. The 25th percentile is $26,640,884, the median is $28,730,454, and the 75th percentile is $30,820,024. That range suggests most awards cluster around similar asset-distribution amounts.
Yes. Both active programs listed accept unsolicited participation: Operation Toy Deploy and WIN Nonprofit Membership. One program distributes brand-new toys through nonprofit partners, and the other provides qualified nonprofits access to donated inventory and discounted goods.
Its stated focus areas are donated inventory redistribution, logistics and warehousing, nonprofit capacity building, disaster and emergency response support, and program-specific distributions such as toys. The recent grants also describe the purpose as distributing donated assets to other tax-exempt organizations.
The recent grant record shows recurring activity. The same St Louis recipient pattern appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all for distributing donated assets to other tax-exempt organizations. That suggests a continuing operating relationship rather than isolated awards.
