What are Gifts-In-Kind?

Gifts-In-kind (GIK) are a company's first-quality, excess inventory donated to assist those in need. Commonly needed items include:

School Supplies and Educational Materials.

Hygenic kits ( soap, toothbrush, floss, etc)

How does my company benefit?

Corporate Tax Deduction. Section 170(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code allows qualifying companies a deduction of up to twice the cost of donated inventory.

Additional Warehouse Space. The elimination of slow-moving inventory increases warehouse capacity and decreases administrative expenses.

Philanthropic Involvement. Your partnership with Give a Kid a Backpack provides a fitting channel for investing in the people and communities that contribute to your success.
