In-kind donation report from McKinsey Quarterly
Howard Lake | 8 October 2003 | News
The US-based McKinsey Quarterly has published a report covering in-kind donations for non-profits.
Saying no to in-kind donations from companies can be difficult but sometimes it can be essential. “Under the wrong circumstances, it can cost an organisation more to accept an in-kind donation than to buy a substitute”, says the latest report from the McKinsey Quarterly.
The report recommends non-profits consider the total cost of ownership of donations, including such variables as transport and repairs, before deciding whether to accept them.
