500+ items, already priced

Most donors either underestimate their donation's value or skip valuation entirely because researching fair market value is tedious. GiveValue's catalog removes that friction — search for what you're donating, and a defensible value is right there.

Smart, forgiving search

Type "pants" and see every relevant subcategory — baby pants, cargo pants, dress slacks, khakis, sweatpants, and more — each mapped to its own valuation range. Fuzzy matching and aliases mean you don't need to know the exact catalog term.

Nine categories covered

  • Clothing — men's, women's, children's, baby, and accessories
  • Household — kitchen, bedding, decor, small appliances
  • Furniture — tables, chairs, sofas, storage
  • Electronics — computers, TVs, audio equipment
  • Books & media, toys & games, sporting goods, tools & equipment, and musical instruments

Condition and brand affect value, correctly

Choose a condition — Fair, Good, Very Good, or Excellent — and a brand tier where relevant, and GiveValue adjusts the fair market value range accordingly, following the same logic the IRS expects to see documented.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants an accurate, defensible valuation without spending an evening cross-referencing thrift store price guides.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. GiveValue supports four condition levels — Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent — and adjusts the estimated value accordingly, following IRS Publication 561 guidance.

Clothing, household goods, furniture, electronics, books and media, toys and games, sporting goods, tools and equipment, and musical instruments — nine categories in total.
