Donation Opportunities

| Donate a Wheelchair We do accept donations of new and gently used wheelchairs and mobility equipment. To arrange a donation please call Liz Spieker at 616.493.2620. She will answer your questions and coordinate the donation process.We will have the wheelchair assessed by one of our vendors before accepting it. Once it is accepted, you can claim it as a tax write-off. |
 All newly donated power wheelchairs are carefully inspected by one of our vendors. |

While we'll take money and just about anything with wheels, we reserve the right to accept in-kind donations at our discretion.
Wheelchairs and other mobility equipment—including lift vans—must be in exceptionally good condition. We have ongoing needs for manual and power wheelchairs, scooters and walkers (with wheels). And while we appreciate equipment that needs to be refurbished, we're simply not funded to repair it.
For those who would like to donate specific items, we have compiled a "Wish List" below. Please check back to this web page from time to time, as this list will change.
Wish List As of June 2008
- Used van with wheelchair lift
- Used cargo van in good condition
- Television with VCR/DVD input jacks
- Basic tools and equipment for repairing wheelchairs
- Large plastic tubs to store wheelchair parts
- Portable air compressor with tire inflation chuck and blow gun attachments
If you have something you would like to donate that we might be interested in give us a call at 616.493.2620 (toll free at 877.468.9335).
Alternatives in Motion is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) corporation founded in 1995 therefore all donations both cash and in-kind are tax deductible.
