This document discusses in-kind contributions to nonprofits and their importance. It defines in-kind contributions as goods or services provided without financial compensation that directly support an organization's activities. Correctly managing and budgeting for in-kind contributions allows an organization to understand what areas rely on these donations and what needs other funding. Tracking in-kind contributions displays program sustainability to donors, strengthens relationships, and provides documentation often required by funders. Projecting expected in-kind support helps identify budget gaps that require additional monetary funding.
