Named a TIME Best Invention of 2025, LiquiDonate is the first software platform that makes reducing retail waste cost-effective.

The seamless WMS or RMS integration automatically reroutes excess inventory, customer returns, and other unsellable goods to local nonprofits and schools—turning a traditionally costly, landfill-bound problem into a tax-deductible, socially impactful solution.

Powered by a network of 4,500+ nonprofit partners, LiquiDonate matches goods quickly and almost always locally, helping retailers cut shipping distances by thousands of miles while ensuring products reach communities that need them most.

Since launching in 2021, LiquiDonate has helped 150+ brands donate over 15 million items, saving money, reducing landfill waste, and strengthening local communities. Retail partners include Room & Board, BAGGU, Kate Hewko, Tuft & Needle, Honeylove, Liquid Death, and many more.
