How Business Association Partnerships Work

Gifts In Kind International Makes The Partnership Easy!

Our partners consist of a broad range of companies including nearly half of the Fortune 100 consumer and retail product corporations, a diverse network of more than 150,000 nonprofit organizations and some of the most respected business associations in the world (representing industries including apparel, furniture, retail, software and technology, building materials, sporting goods, toys and educational equipment and supplies).

Gifts In Kind offers business associations a unique way to extend the benefits of product philanthropy to their members. Gifts In Kind’s Association Partnership Program can be customized to achieve association objectives. Ongoing services, as well as tailored components, are provided at no cost to business associations and members.

While the specific structure of each partnership varies, generally the program services include:

• Donation management for ongoing giving programs and one-time donation opportunities
• Customized association/member communications, including media outreach when appropriate
• Tradeshow donation management, allowing exhibitors to donate onsite to avoid costly repacking and shipment of samples
• Quarterly campaigns/emergency relief coordination
• Targeted recognition strategies including industry awards programs.
