In-kind contributions are donations of goods, services or time — instead of cash.

• Tangible goods include things like equipment, books, cars, clothing, furniture, art, jewelry etc.
• In-kind services are professional services donated by groups such as corporations, small businesses, vendors or tradespeople.
• An in-kind donation involving time occurs when people give their time free of charge or for payment by a third party on the nonprofit's behalf.
• Establishing the value of the in-kind contribution is the responsibility of the donor

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle sponsored by a public charity that allows a donor to make a contribution to that charity, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants over time to any IRS-qualified public charity.

Corporate Matching Gifts

In some instances, companies may offer a benefit that provides a corporate match on employee or retiree charitable donations. Check with your human resources department to see if your employer offers a matching gift and if your donations may qualify. Thank you and God bless!
