Gifts in kind (GIK) is a kind of Charitable Giving in which, instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services, the goods and services themselves are given. GIK has several advantages over monetary giving:

  • Donated goods are much less susceptible to becoming Graft .


  • The goods themselves would often end up as Landfill . GIK provides a means, particularly for corporations, of doing social good with things that would otherwise be a liability.


In the last few years, a great deal of attention has been given in the humanitarian community to GIK. Organisations like GlobalHand have been established to help people who have things to donate find qualified recipients who need them.
