Improving Your Community, Business, and Environment.
The Furniture Trust is a 501(3) nonprofit organization that turns surplus office furniture and supplies into stronger nonprofits and better-equipped schools, with measurable environmental impact.
WE ARE AN ECOSYSTEM FOR GOOD.
After years of managing renovation and construction projects in corporate real estate, founders Christine Mosholder and John Riley saw a recurring problem: large quantities of quality office furniture were often headed for the landfill during relocations and renovations. At the same time, nonprofits and schools lacked the resources to furnish safe, welcoming, and functional spaces.
Christine and John recognized an opportunity to connect these needs—and The Furniture Trust was born.
The Furniture Trust was founded to connect this excess furniture with those who need it most in the community, while diverting quality furniture away from the waste stream.
One Decision. Endless Good.
