Some organizations accept non-monetary gifts from constituents and their community. For example, a nonprofit food pantry accepts donations of food, paper goods, or household cleaning products. A nonprofit after-school program accepts donations of computers, school supplies, or books. You can log the value of these donations as gift commitments in Salesforce.
For in-kind gifts, it's important to distinguish between a thank-you acknowledgment and a receipt. Make sure that you're in compliance with the applicable laws on how non-monetary gifts are recorded and acknowledged in your country or municipality.
