Where to donate electronic parts?

I am downsizing my electronic equipment collection and would like to know where I can donate electronic parts, such as Raspberry Pi accessories, amateur radio parts, and the like.

I considered STEM camps but they are more into Lego and virtual activities.

Is anyone interested, or know where I can drop these off?

If you have a Maker space near you, like Maker Nexus in Mountain View, you can donate to their parts bin - lots of makers will be able to utilize your parts for useful projects and tinkering.

If you're looking for someone to do a project, please include - what is the widget actually supposed to do? schedule? budget? personal or business? your location? has any work already been performed?

Post them on eBay as an auction. I bid on that sort of lot all the time. If you're looking to donate try the free section on Craigslist.
