In-Kind Donation
In-kind donations, is a kind of charitable giving in which, instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services, the goods and services themselves are given. In-kind donations generally fall into one of three categories: (1) direct payment by a donor of bill owed by the charity to a third party, (2) donations of goods or (3) donations of services. You can deduct the fair market value of physical items contributed through In-Kind donations. Examples of In-Kind donations are:
- Goods, like computers, software, furniture, and office equipment, for use by your organization or for special event auctions
