Handling In-Kind or Non-Cash Donations

Based on IRS Charitable Contributions - Written Acknowledgments

Recommended Best Practice for Recording In Kind or Non-Cash Donations in Breeze

Following the IRS guidelines, entering the description (but not value) of non-cash donation is recommended.

Therefore, entering a Total Amount of 0.00 (No "$") and a Note with clear description of the non-cash donation would look something similar to this:

When printing year-end statements, adding the Note column to your itemized list will include this description on the member statements.

Recording the gift in your accounting system

Breeze intentionally limits its financial scope to tracking member contributions. Church accounting of non-cash donations should be done within your accounting system where you can properly record both credits and debits of non-cash donations.
