Donate Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are non-monetary items of tangible personal property such as art, collectibles, books, equipment, automobiles, inventory, and other personal assets or materials that represent value to the Develop Africa. We welcome many gifts-in-kind and are most grateful when donors think of us with this form of philanthropy.

Gifts in kind directly related to the Develop Africa’s mission may be tax deductible at their current market value. If you are interested in making a gift in kind donation, please complete and submit the gifts in kind form [1].

1. If Develop Africa chooses to accept your gift in kind donation and that item(s) has an apparent value of $5,000 or more, you will need to obtain / provide an appraisal and a completed IRS form 8283 [2] (unless you choose not to seek a tax deduction). To access the IRS's instructions on this form, click here [3].

2. Develop Africa does not appraise gifts in kind. Donors are responsible for substantiating the value of donated items with the IRS. Develop Africa recommends potential donors contact their personal financial advisors, accountants or tax attorneys for advice about a donation's tax-deductible value.

3. All gifts in kind will be acknowledged with an official letter from Develop Africa and will be included in the Annual Report. Depending on item(s) donated, additional acknowledgements in the form of signage, logo placement, press releases, etc. may also be considered.
