Purpose & Benefit

Manages donor expectations and prevents the accumulation of unusable inventory.
Satisfies strict financial audit standards for South African non-profits, NPOs, and NPCs.

What is Included

Clear parameters for accepting, evaluating, and recording non-monetary contributions (including pro bono professional services, physical goods, property, and facility usage).
Structured procedures for calculating Fair Market Value (FMV).
Protocols for maintaining donor administrative records and separate financial ledger tracking.

Extras

An ethical non-acceptance policy designed to protect the organization from gifts linked to weapons, tobacco, or exploitative practices.

Establishing a clear donations in kind policy ensures transparent valuation and tax compliance for non-cash contributions, but managing non-cash gifts requires robust internal tracking systems. Partner with Elizayo to streamline your compliance, grant pipeline and secure sustainable funding.
