An easy way to help the poor
Gifts-in-kind (GIK) are a company's first-quality, excess inventory donated to assist those in need. World Vision places GIK in the hands of millions of needy people each year. The benefits to corporate donors are both immediate and long-term – a tax deduction, additional warehouse space, and positive public relations. The next time you look at your inventory, consider how your company can help save lives.
Benefits to your company
- 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.
- Positive Public Relations. World Vision's experienced marketing staff is ready to help your organization maximize on public-relations opportunities to highlight your donation.
- Philanthropic Involvement. Your partnership with World Vision provides a fitting channel for investing in the people and communities that contribute to your success.
