Receiving In-Kind Gifts

RJ Chambers

Can parishes accept non-cash gifts? If the parish wants to accept such a gift, for sure!

In-Kind Donations are non-monetary gifts that support the work of the parish. There is no requirement for parishes to accept in-kind donations if they do not want to receive them.

In-Kind Donations may be receipted provided the giver is at arm’s length from the recipient of the funds and the items donated are deemed to be at fair market value. The CRA has a comprehensive description for determining fair market value which may be found here.

In the spirit of peaceful dialogue, understanding, reconciliation, and healing, we walk alongside our Indigenous and Métis relations on the Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 Territories, the traditional meeting ground of Cree, Saulteaux, Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakota Sioux, Dene, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
