We have a large amount of office supplies at my office that we need to donate to a Non-Profit organization, we have one in mind but they are not sure how the process works. My boss wants to be sure that we have the right documents or paper work to show we donated a certain amount of office supplies to a organization for tax purposes..
Any advice, or to point me in the right direction would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

First, make sure that the company you’re donating to is a 501(c)(3) recognized non-profit. Beyond that, all you really need to do is sent it to them with a letter and detailed inventory of what’s being sent, and have them respond with an acknowledgment. A company that is accustom to receiving donations should know what they need to give you in return.
