​How do I donate medication? 

A RoundtableRx pharmacist will confirm whether a donation meets our strict quality & safety standards. Our quality & safety standards are based on the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy's requirements. Approved donations from individuals can be mailed or dropped off at our office in Minneapolis. Donations from pharmacies & facilities are managed through our partners at SIRUM. 

 

What happens to the items after I donate them to RoundtableRx? 

Donated medications & supplies are inspected by a licensed pharmacist for quality & safety. Approved donations are then redistributed to our Local Repository clinic & pharmacy partners at no cost. These clinics & pharmacies dispense the medications directly to uninsured or underinsured Minnesota residents state-wide.

Tax Deductions for Medication Donations

Unfortunately, donations of medications and medical supplies are not tax deductible because they have no "Fair Market Value" and cannot be re-sold. Therefore a donation receipt for tax purposes cannot be provided. More information on this topic can be found here:

Donating Facilities & Pharmacies

Most of RoundtableRx's inventory is donated by healthcare facilities, with the largest volume coming from long-term care facilities and the pharmacies that serve them. Our colleagues at SIRUM assist RoundtableRx with donor relationships and shipping logistics. Donations made through SIRUM by facilities are delivered to RoundtableRx & redistributed to Minnesotans in need at no cost. Watch SIRUM's video (right) to learn about donating as a healthcare facility or contact RoundtableRx directly.
