In-Kind Donations are non-cash donations that come in the form of goods or services. These
contributions can be made in the form of time, services, expertise, and goods. While financial
contributions are valuable, in-kind donations provide us with goods and services that serve our
immediate needs.
Your donation will have an immediate impact.
Donors can see the immediate impact of their donations, which can be used right away. In-kind donations can free up funds that would otherwise be spent on purchasing goods or services and can be a more flexible option for donors, especially individuals or businesses.
These donations are recorded as monetary values, determined by the fair market price you’d otherwise pay for the goods or service you received. This value is recorded on your financial statements.
Goods donations
A donor may contribute an in-kind donation in the form of goods, which can include Food, items donated for raffles, silent auctions of swag bags, office equipment, building materials, venues and supplies
Expertise donations
An expertise donation refers to when a professional lends advice to an organization for free. This advice could include tax advice, event planning, or another form of knowledge. Most often, corporations will offer in-kind expertise donations by allowing nonprofits to access their services at no or reduced cost. In some instances, a discount can be written off by the donor, too.
Service donations
These donations refer to donations made by contributing time through volunteer work. A nonprofit may accept professional service donations for fundraisers and drives, where they ask professionals to complete tasks like printing brochures, setting up events, running AV, licensed bartending, and more.
