About Us

The Story of PEL

Pel Consignments, Inc. is the direct service organization for Personalized Estate Liquidation Benefitting Youth Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. What began as a simple idea—turning estate liquidation into community impact—has grown into a powerful force for youth empowerment in Sarasota.

For over a decade, we've been helping families through life's transitions while simultaneously investing in the future of local young people. Every estate sale we conduct, every consignment we showcase, and every donation we receive becomes part of a larger mission: supporting at-risk youth in our community.


Our Mission

We exist to transform the estate liquidation process into meaningful community impact. Through professional estate sales, consignments, and donations, we generate funding for youth programs throughout the Sarasota area. Our business model is simple but powerful: 100% of proceeds minus operating expenses are donated to organizations that provide mentorship, education, and support to at-risk teens.


Our Impact: $771,000 and Counting

Since our founding, we've donated over $771,000 to local youth organizations. These aren't just numbers—they represent scholarships awarded, mentorship programs funded, and opportunities created for young people who need them most.

We Support:

  • Teen Court programs that provide alternatives to traditional juvenile justice
  • Youth mentorship initiatives connecting teens with positive role models
  • Educational scholarship funds opening doors to higher education
  • After-school programs keeping kids engaged and supervised
  • Community youth development organizations throughout Sarasota

Currently, we donate approximately $100,000 annually to these vital programs. Our goal for Year 1 of our digital expansion is to increase that to $125,000-$150,000, reaching even more young people in need.
