In-Kind Donations

An In-Kind Donation is a voluntary contribution of goods or services received from a company, business, civic organization, or individual that can be used to advance the mission of Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes, Inc. If a troop or Service Area desires to solicit in-kind products, Council approval is necessary prior to a troop or Service Area approaching any business or organization for the contribution of a product.

If approved, and your troop receives a solicited in-kind donation, an In-Kind Gift Acceptance form must be completed by both the donor and you, the recipient. The donor will complete the entire top portion of the form. Note: The value of a donation must be determined by the donor; the receiving nonprofit is not permitted to provide a valuation of the property it receives. The IRS requires that the donation be priced at its “fair market value.”  Once accepted, the donated item(s) become the property of the GSNWGL.
