How it works
From donated device to meaningful impact.
Donate Technology
Individuals or businesses contribute devices they no longer need. Supporters can donate a personal device, while business donors can contribute retired technology from across their organization.
Send the Devices for Free
Phobio makes the handoff simple. We handle the logistics of getting donated technology to Phobio, whether it's a single device from an individual or a larger contribution from a business.
We Process & Protect
Every device is securely handled. Phobio evaluates the donated technology, securely erases its data, and manages the downstream process to recover its remaining value.
Donors Get a Receipt
Every contribution is documented. Phobio provides donors with a donation receipt for the devices they contribute to your organization.
Your Mission Gets the Value
Technology becomes funding for your organization. The recovered value from donated devices goes back to your nonprofit to support the work you do.
One program. More ways to give.

What makes Phobio different?
Phobio combines technology and operational expertise to power trade-in and buyback programs from start to finish.
Rather than simply buying devices, we help businesses launch customized programs that fit their brand and customer experience. Our technology supports pricing, logistics, inspections, reporting, and payments, making it easier to recover value from used technology.
How does donating a device work?
The donation process begins with selecting your favorite non-profit and submitting your trade specifics online (manufacturer, model, storage, and condition). You'll receive a quote for your trade, and we'll send you a confirmation email and shipping label so you can pack and ship your trade to Phobio. From there, we inspect and securely erase your trade, issue an in-kind donation tax receipt, and send your trade-in value directly to the foundation you selected.
Which retailers, carriers, and manufacturers work with Phobio?
Phobio powers trade-in and buyback programs for many leading retailers, wireless carriers, manufacturers, and enterprise organizations.
Because some partner relationships are confidential, we don't publicly identify every organization we support. Our customer stories and case studies highlight examples of how organizations use Phobio to simplify device recovery and create new value from used technology.
Give your supporters one more way to make a difference.
Turn devices your supporters no longer need into funding you can use.
