What you can do
Real button and tab names \u2014 the module is the same for everyone; what you do with it is not.
Post surplus with category, condition, quantity, value, delivery and tax-receipt settings.
Recipients claim what they can store and distribute; the donor accepts or rejects.
Shipment, chat and delivery confirmation in one thread — then the receipt.
Distribution reports with SDG tags, built from claims and confirmed deliveries.
Why this matters for your organization type
The problem
Campuses generate large, high-quality surplus on a fixed calendar and dispose of much of it because finding recipients inside the window is hard.
What the platform does

Not an auction-prize portal, not a warehouse ERP
Event-prize platforms source gala baskets \u2014 a different job done well. Warehouse ERP handles barcoding, restrictions and freight for very large NGOs. This is operational in-kind for the middle: surplus that has to be claimed, moved, delivered and documented.

Questions
What makes campus surplus claimable?
The pickup window, stated clearly. Recipients can only claim what they can collect inside your timeframe, so a listing with condition, quantity and a realistic window moves; one without moves nowhere.
Does this compete with our surplus auction?
No. Auctions recover cash and remain the right route where that is the objective. This is for the portion of surplus you would rather see used by community organizations, with documentation for your sustainability office.
What does this cost a campus?
Academia shares the business plan catalog and is priced per seat: $9.99/seat up to 100 seats, $5.00/seat up to 500, $2.00/seat up to 2,500 and $1.00/seat up to 10,000, with the largest institutions by custom quote. Every seat is invitable, and you invite students and staff from your seat allotment. The 30-day free trial requires no credit card, and ImpactVolunteer is included with every subscription.
