Have a Gift in Kind Designation

This will note that the donation is not considered income, ensuring clarity in reports. First, create a new designation named "Gift In Kind."

Click on Contributions > Settings in the left-hand navigation menu. From here you can click on the "Add Designation" button and name the designation "Gift In Kind."

When entering the contribution, set the amount field to $0.00, and in the memo field right underneath, set a description of what was given. You can also include the fair market value if you need to.
