Gifts In Kind International: Who We Are
Who We Are |
|
Eliminating poverty is not a hopeless task at all. We just need to organize and
mobilize the resources, will, and abundance of our society to serve the poor and needy.

Gifts In Kind International is a 501(c)(3) organization. Our mission
is to link donor resources to enhance, empower, and restore communities
and people in need.
We are the eighth-largest charity in America according to the Chronicle
of Philanthropy,
and we generated and placed nearly $900 million in urgently needed
new product donations last year. Gifts In Kind receives donations from
thousands of large and
small companies, including half of the Fortune 100 technology, retail,
and consumer corporations. We distribute these donations to more than
150,000 community charities across the United States and throughout the
world. |
Gifts In Kind is acknowledged as one of the most cost-efficient charities
by
Forbes magazine. We operate on 0.3 percent of the fair market value
of our donations - meaning 99.7% of all donations went directly to communities
and people in need.
Charity Navigator, a leading independent charity evaluator, gave us a
four-star rating (the highest grade possible) for the seventh-consecutive
year — only 12 percent of
American charities actually have received the four-star rating for even
two consecutive years. "This ‘exceptional’ rating from Charity Navigator differentiates
Gifts In Kind International from its peers and proves that it’s worthy of the
public’s trust,"
stated the charity watchdog group. |
