1. Turning
Surplus Assets
Into Tax Deductions
www.ormita.com

2. Do you want to donate to charity but lack the ability
to help financially?
Does your business have excess time or surplus
assets which are going to waste?
Do you have goods or services you would like to
donate that a charity can not directly utilize?
Are you interested in converting your unsold
products into a full value tax deduction?

3. Research has shown that more than half of all charitable contributions by companies are in
the form of merchandise not cash.
Ormita can turn those excess inventories, space or hours into a full tax deduction (at retail market value) to help
improve your bottom line.
Charities that help the less fortunate find it hard at times to
get donations from businesses and when they do get dona-
tions it is just not enough. When a business makes a donation
to a charity it comes out of their profit margins and yet is a tax
deduction and creates goodwill and PR.
Ormita solves the problem of not being able to give more to a
charity because there is a limited amount of cash to give.
Because of logistical reasons many charities do not accept
in-kind donations.
Ormita makes it possible for you to donate goods or services
that otherwise would not have been accepted by your favorite
charity.
There is little tax benefit received from donating time
based services.
Ormita provides a mechanism to donate your unsold time or space
whilst creating a positive effect on your balance sheet.
Liquidating can often result in just cents on the dollar, and
sometimes the liquidator can be slow in making a payment.
Your products may also end up in cut-rate discount houses,
hurting your product’s image and affecting your future
marketing efforts.
Ormita takes your product off-market and ensures you retain
product and brand integrity while providing you with valuable
brand name support and aligning your business with charitable
activities in a way which has a positive effect on your cash-flow.
Ormita enables companies to link their product or brand
with a particular cause and, in doing so, generate
greater revenues – all without the need for cash.

4. Haven’t Considered Donating Before?
Here Are Some Of The Tangible Financial Benefits.
Manufacturers, Wholesalers and Retailers
• Takes your excess product off-market, thereby retaining the
market value for your goods.
• Tax-deductible benefits may be greater than income received
from a sale.
• Creates savings in warehouse space, disposal costs and
staff time.
• If you plan to close or consolidate a warehouse or distribution
centre, it may be more cost-effective to donate that inventory
rather than move it to another location.
• Helps to reduce waste and meet environmental goals.
• Staff and customers want to see your surplus goods going to
people in need rather than to the dump.
• Donated goods are generally only deductible at cost (not market value). Using Ormita your donation
is eligible for a tax deduction at full retail value.
• Ormita effectively converts items which a charity may not be able to directly use into goods and
services they need.
• A single email or phone call to Ormita can take all of your surpluses off your hands.
Service Industries
• Allows for a full retail value tax deduction for your surplus
time, space, unsold seats or service-related offerings.
• Provides a creative way for your staff to give to their
nominated charities without the need for time-off or
cash from their pockets.
• Can help fulfil your company’s philanthropic, environmental
and/or social welfare goals and translate into goodwill.
General Benefits for Businesses
• Businesses who donate trade credits receive the up-front tax benefits at the time of donation -
even though they may only earn the trade credits at a later date.
• Allows you to tie your giving to your sales or customer activities without spending any additional
cash to do so.

5. Corporate Social Responsibility
In such a competitive labour market, being recognised as a socially responsible employer is
important. According to one study+, 87% of respondents said they would feel proud to work for a
company that offered significant support to causes or charities. 82% of respondents said they would
rather work for a company that supported good causes, if all other employment factors were equal.
41% of respondents said that they’d even take a job that paid less if it provided the chance to make a
difference to the community. 1
An organisation’s commitment to creating a mutually beneficial future for the community is an
important factor in developing and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders. Increased
recognition of the importance of CSR globally, has seen external rating systems such as the Good
Reputation Index, DOW Jones Sustainable Group Index, Business in the Community Corporate
Responsibility Index and the FTSE4Good become increasingly relevant to corporates. These rating
frameworks measure the performance of companies in regard to their corporate social responsibility.
There is an acknowledgement that these frameworks can impact and facilitate investment in companies
regarded as ranked highly in these indexes. Organisations are also beginning to acknowledge the need
for accountability and internal reporting on their CSR initiatives, and accordingly are utilising internal
reporting frameworks such as the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) and Corporate Community
Involvement Index (CCI).
• Impacts staff motivation and pride in their organisation; thereby increasing staff satisfaction,
enhancing loyalty and retention. It also provides the opportunity to be seen as an employer of
choice and gives employees the chance to contribute to the social well-being of communities.
• Companies are increasingly looking to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a proven vehicle
to drive greater staff, stakeholder and community engagement.
• Consumer trust is at an all-time low, with 55 percent of consumers regarding big corporations as
having no morals or ethics. A company’s brand can be significantly enhanced by aligning itself with
a good cause. In fact, 9% of consumers believe that a great brand comes from a company with
values and ethics. 2
