Would like to donate some of my inventory to a charity.
i sell by FBA. I would like to donate some of my inventory to a Multiple Sclerosis support group. But I noticed that in Remove inventory from a fulfillment center, it says "Don't use removal orders to send inventory to customers or as gifts. Removal orders are intended to return inventory to your possession, the manufacturer, or a third-party storage provider or re-shipper."
I do not live in the USA and dont know anyone who will be available to receive goods to transfer to them to the support group.
Does this mean I cannot donate my Amazon stock to the charity of my choice using a removal order? thank you

Amazon does not have the option to select which charity you want to donate to.

Because you say you want to donate 'some of my inventory' and not ALL of it just continue to sell through your stock and send an actual money donation with the sales proceeds.
The charity can probably use cash better than merchandise that THEY would have to sell -- COMPETING WITH YOU!

Good afternoon @Seller_hY40tLwm8O9jf,
I first have to commend you on your thoughtfulness, and willingness to donate. I have a close family friend who has MS, so your sentiment is personal to me. As others have mentioned, currently the only way to donate FBA inventory is through the FBA Donations program. Amazon partners with Good360 for this program, a charity that helps other non-profits get goods that they might need. Whatever route you decide to go is commendable, best wishes to you.
