For Raising In-Kind
Resources
- Keep
track of your successes and failures in obtaining in-kind
support, and measure your progress in reaching your goals.
- When
you receive an in-kind donation, put a dollar value on it.
When a local organization agreed to type and photocopy your
newsletter, estimate how much it would have cost you to
have paid someone to do it. You just generated that amount,
rather than having spent it!
- Keep
a careful accounting of the dollar value of your in-kind
solicitations. This will be important for your project if
you decide to apply for grants and when you compile your
annual financial records.
- Make
sure to send thank-you notes to your donors! Remember to
explicitly acknowledge your appreciation for the contributions
you receive. If people feel appreciated, they are more likely
to contribute towards your initiative again in the future.
