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.

 

 

The report is available online at no charge, but you will need to register at the
