About The Resource Collective

Materials that support your mission.

Material donation procurement, management, and distribution is a complex and tangled process within the nonprofit sector. Arizona's 28,000 nonprofit organizations, 16,000 in Maricopa County alone, approach material donations in a similar, yet inefficient and ineffective fashion — facing challenges in procuring, storing, and distributing donated materials, resulting in wasted financial resources. Many organizations pass up high-quality donations because they lack the capacity to handle large-scale offerings.

Stardust, along with Delivering Dreams of Arizona, Nourish Phoenix, and St. Vincent de Paul are collaborating to make deeper community impact through material donations. This group of community leaders are developing a first-of-its-kind, large-scale system — The Resource Collective — that includes sourcing, procuring, storing, and distributing new high quality, large quantity donated materials from retailers and manufacturers outside of Arizona to support the Arizona nonprofit sector and the communities they serve.

Examples of truckloads of materials in the system:

  • Nike Shoes
  • Toys
  • Diapers
  • Stanley Reusable Water Bottles
  • Stoneware Dishes
  • Bottled Water
  • Bedding
  • Hygiene
  • Clothing
