IBM can and does provide raw z/VM VMs at Marist or Syracuse for other
Linux distros, such as Debian. That is what you really need, not
"hardware".  The discussion about donating hardware is off track.

The Debian support is completely community driven and maintained. If
there is a group of CentOS developers who want to bootstrap and
maintain it, the resources probably can be made available. If this is
a request for IBM to enable CentOS on IBMz, that is an orthogonal
discussion about IBM resources and likely would require IBM customer
demand.
