In Kind Donations

Hello,

My organization is trying to figure out the best way to record in kind donations. We are considering creating another campaign specifically for in kind donations so that they will be tracked separately from other donations. Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Thank you,

 

Mike Conway

  • Prior to this year, we had separate funds for in-kind (one for corporate, one for individuals) and added those funds to other campaigns.  For this year, we created a separate in-kind campaign which has made it much easier to track over the course of the year.

    I recommend a separate campaign.  Things have been much easier to report on this year.

    We have a gift-in-kind payment method which can be used for any campaign and is available only to our Development department. This works very well for us.

  • Mike,

    For In-Kind donations, we just created new Funds.Then all donations are under the same Campaign umbrella.

    For example:

    *
    In-Kind Corp
    *
    In-Kind Indiv
    *
    In-Kind Fdtn


    We have a report to pull by Fund as well...I think it was a Tess report and not custom. Hope this helps.

  • I agree with Levi. I used to have separate in-kind funds linked to campaigns that included cash funds as well. Now I create separate in-kind campaigns to match the in-kind funds. There are so many reports that run on campaign (not fund) so it makes reporting on cash versus in-kind gifts much easier.

  • We have a separate In Kind campaign with several funds that track which department (development, music, production, administration, etc.) gets credited with the donation so that we know who needs to write the acknowledgement. We can therefore easily include or exclude the value of in kind gifts when looking at annual giving.
