I agree with Cindy - while I know some orgs do include value of the GIK, we don't. We acknowledge their gift with all the factual details we have but not $ value. The value placed on the equipment is at their discretion. My understanding is that time is not a tax deductible donation. If you paid...

Is there a way to add event participants from a query or batch? I would like to do a gift batch for a long list of GIK's we received for an event, then be able to put the donors as participants. Some of the donors did not attend the event so I don't necessarily want them in the same category...

I realize I'm reaching out to a small subset of users with this question. When people donate items to a museum (for collections), would you consider these items gifts-in-kind? Our collections department gives us a report every month of the items they have received. We don't get the item's...

How do you process a MG of software. Software donations are considered in kind, should the match be processed that way?

Kim, If this is not a cash gift, for us it's not recorded in RE as a cash gift. It sounds like they are more of a Gift-in-Kind service. If there's no cash, not sure it should be reported on as cash received. It's a paid expense. Am hoping a couple others will post on this as this is an area...

He is counting the quarterly payment as a gift to the our org. How do we track that payment in RE? My finance person says it is technically a gift...

Hey Desiree, I found a forum thread from last year that discusses this topic: Event setup for 5K Run or Walk-A-Thon Hope this helps!

We are starting to enter in-kind donations into our database. We have several for our special events. The problem that I am having with it is that it causes problems with some of the canned reports that RE has to offer. Is anyone linking their in-kind donations to the event module? If so, would you mind...

How do you record cash equivalent in-kind gifts? We have a sponsor and they pay for the food for an event rather than giving us the sponsor money and having us pay. Its essentially the same thing, but we normally put a zero dollar amount in for gift amount for in kind gifts. This seems like a different...

Are there any organizations that have a gift acceptance policy they would be willing to share that addresses in-kind gifts (tangible property, etc.)? We are looking to see how organizations specifically address 1) the criteria used to determine if an in-kind gift should be accepted (mission related,...
