How Does In-Kind Giving Help CVD?
In-kind giving plays a pivotal role in supporting our goal of providing critical resources without the need for monetary donations. By contributing goods or services, donors help us allocate funds more effectively toward our core mission.
What Are In-Kind Donations?
In-kind donations refer to non-cash contributions that CVD can use to support our work. These contributions can be categorized into two main types:
Goods: Tangible items such as office supplies, computers, baby gear, diapers, non-perishable food, clothing, furniture, or other materials essential for directly benefiting clients.
Services: Expertise and professional skills to assist with tasks like legal support, marketing campaigns, website design, social media management, event planning, IT security support, photography, videography, or even mental health counseling.
