The National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources (NAEIR)
http://www.naeir.org/index.cfm |
The National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources (NAEIR) is an organization that collects new products from businesses and corporations for dispersal to nonprofit organizations, churches, and schools. Members of NAEIR have the opportunity to request free supplies ranging from sporting goods to classroom materials, with the only cost being shipping. |
First come, first serve. NAEIR allocates merchandise from each catalog on a weekly basis, over a ten week period. Simply put, NAEIR apportions the merchandise in each catalog out into tenths, giving that portion away each week as requests come in. This ensures that all of the high-demand items will not be given away at the beginning of the cycle, nor will they be held until the end. As long as they meet the catalog deadline, each member has an equal chance at the merchandise. |
