About CFS
15 Years of Trusted Coordination
We exist at the intersection of commerce and purpose — a professional logistics intermediary that removes the burden of nonprofit coordination from your team.
Our Story
Built on a Simple Idea
CFS was founded on a straightforward observation: commercial businesses regularly decommission perfectly usable furniture, fixtures, and equipment — and nonprofits desperately need those same items. The problem was never supply or demand. It was coordination.
For over fifteen years, we have served as the professional bridge between those two worlds. We handle every step of the logistics chain — sourcing, scheduling, transportation, placement — so that businesses can move surplus goods efficiently and charities receive what they need without the friction of a direct commercial relationship.
Our network spans North America, with established relationships across corporate facilities, hospitality, healthcare, government, 3PL, logistic, and education sectors. Every project we take on is guided by the same principle: Business First, Charity Always.

IRS Tax Benefit
170(e)(3) Special Rule for Certain Contributions of Inventory and Other Property
Under IRC Section 170(e)(3), C corporations may deduct the cost of inventory donated to qualifying nonprofits at an enhanced rate — up to twice the cost basis of the donated property. This provision is specifically designed to encourage businesses to donate surplus goods rather than dispose of them, turning an operational cost into a meaningful tax advantage.
