Who We Are: Asset Network for Education Worldwide (ANEW)

ANEW is a 501 non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, organizing and repurposing surplus furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for donation to the underserved and those who support them.

Why ANEW

We’re environmentally, fiscally, and socially responsible:

  • Providing FF&E to schools, non-profit organizations, communities in need and public agencies
  • Reusing your FF&E as opposed to sending it to landfills
  • Saving your firm money in warehousing and disposal costs and providing you a tax receipt for your donations
  • Building social capital + well-being within our communities

How It Works

ANEW makes it simple to be socially responsible:

Inquiry

  • You contact us directly for an intake phone conversation
  • We issue a simple form that begins the process
  • We can take it all – carpet, ceiling, doors, hardware and all furniture
  • We conduct a facility walk-through to create an asset assessment for a removal plan and schedule
  • We review logistics including building access (ingress and egress) loading dock and elevator scheduling
  • We issue a certificate of insurance as required by many office buildings
  • You provide tools such as floor plans and inventories (as available) to help develop a budget, scope, schedule and recipient match

Development

  • You and ANEW outline the scope of services
  • You and ANEW determine the organization(s) to receive donated goods
  • We deliver a proposal
  • You approve the proposal to commence work!

Action

  • Prior to the move, we tag items as agreed for donation
  • We manage the removal of goods, conduct community outreach and distribute surplus FF&E to recipients

Close

  • We issue a post-completion tax receipt for your donation
  • We issue a sustainability certificate of the project highlighting social and environmental responsibility
  • We’ll create a custom e-press release (if you would like)
  • We provide documentation for your use toward USGBC LEED Certification
