In-Kind Gifts

Gifts-In-Kind involve the donation of property, goods or services instead of cash.  A donation of property can create a gift of exceptional importance. The current value of the property will qualify as a donation for tax purposes.  The proceeds from the sale of certain property may be invested in an annuity that will provide you and your family with income for life.  You can also donate property through your will.  Independence, Inc. will issue a receipt for most gifts of goods, but not for services.  These are some common types of in-kind donations:

• Computers 

• Medical Equipment Loan Bank

• Real Estate

• Securities

• Art

• Antiques

Please call: Sidney Hardgrave at 785) 841-0333 or e-mail her at sidneyh@independenceinc.org for more information and professional assistance with your in-kind gifts.
