Equipment Donations

Bellweather College Foundation · Room A-208 · ext. 2290 · foundation@bellweather.tech

The College accepts donated equipment that is of instructional use, is in working condition or is economically repairable, and can be maintained with parts and service the College can obtain.

The College declines, with thanks: equipment for which parts are unavailable; equipment requiring a service contract the College cannot fund; consumer-grade equipment; equipment containing refrigerants, mercury, or beryllium; any equipment offered on the condition that it be displayed, named, or retained indefinitely; and any equipment the donor cannot document the right to give.

Donors are asked to understand that the College cannot appraise a gift, cannot provide a valuation for tax purposes, and may deaccession donated equipment after five years. A gift accepted is the College’s property and will be used, altered, or disposed of as instruction requires.
