Forward: Re-use for charity
Give things away for charity
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pass your things on to someone nearby, and let them support a good cause when they pick them up. Snap a photo and Forward writes the rest.
Got an armchair, a balance bike or a guitar that's just gathering dust? With Forward you pass it on to someone nearby who can use it. Whoever picks it up gives an amount to the charity you chose. Your things get a new life, and a good cause gets the money.
HOW IT WORKS
• Take a photo of the item. Forward suggests a title, description and category from the photo.
• Choose the charity it supports, and suggest an amount if you like.
• People nearby ask for it, and you choose who gets it.
• When they pick it up, they give the amount straight to the charity.
FIND THINGS NEARBY
• See what people are giving away in your area: furniture, kids' things, clothes, books, instruments and more.
• Search, or pick a category.
• Ask for what you can use, and talk to the giver in the comments.
KEEP TRACK OF IT ALL
• See when someone asks for your things or answers you.
• See how much you've given to good causes.
You can look around without signing in. Forward is free, with no ads.

I have tons of stuff I no longer use, but don't want to throw out and for it to go to waist. This way I can also donate to charity! Win win situation

This one is a big one!
You are now able to post a donation without setting a price on it up front ... people will then bid on it. So if you want to give away items for free it's fine and you can approve any bid without donating to charity. However if you would like to post a donation and see a big donation going towards your favorite charity, people are now able to do so too.
It's best of two worlds and we invite you to try it out now by posting some great stuff on Forward.
