In-Kind Gifts

PastPerfect also tracks In-Kind Gifts. Some donors are able to give goods and services that can be used for charitable purposes, instead of giving cash or securities. Examples are free printing of invitations and programs by a professional printer, decorations and flowers from a florist, or food from a caterer. In-Kind gifts can help reduce the cost of planning events for your organization, or off-set the expenses of general operating costs.

The In-Kind Gifts accordion displays any in-kind gifts a contact has made and allows you to create thank you letters. In-Kind Gifts fields include date, type of gift, value, campaign, solicitor, and description of the gift.

For more information, see Anatomy of a Contact Record | In-Kind Gifts.

In-Kind Gifts may also be entered and thank you letters printed through the In-Kind Gifts area of Pledges & Receipts. See Pledges & Receipts | In-Kind Gifts.
