I have accumulated perhaps 50-100 small blanks that I will probably never turn. I would be willing to donate them to anyone with students that need started blanks.

Very nice of you. Maybe inquire at a local trade school in your area.
I’ve got a pile of small blanks from coring over the last several years. I keep them around even though I don’t always turn them into finished bowls - they’re perfect for practice cuts to ‘get my mojo back’ after not turning for a couple of weeks for one reason or another. Its a good tune up on skills before pulling out the ‘keeper’ blanks.
