How are Gifts in Kind valued and tracked?
- Donors submit a form listing gifts and their value.
- Donors will receive a thank you letter acknowledging their donation.
- Habitat Metro Denver accounts for Gifts in Kind in its bookkeeping by assigning a value for what it would have to pay for the materials or labor.
- The donor is responsible for assigning a fair market value to the Gift in Kind for his or her own tax purposes.
