The term pro bono originally applied to established professions such as medicine, the law, accounting, etc.,\u00a0<em>pro bono publico<\/em> work meant, literally, &#8220;for the public good&#8221; &#8212; and it was considered a duty of members of a profession to offer some part of their services at a reduced fee or free to those in need. Today, the use of the term has expanded to encompass any sort of volunteer service in which someone donates skills for which he or she would otherwise be paid. So if a web designer creates a website for an organization at no charge, or a financial planner offers to give a lecture to your staff and community with proceeds going to your organization, that&#8217;s pro bono service.<\/p>\n<p>GrantWatch includes many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant-search.php?keyword=in-kind%20grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in-kind grants<\/a>, some are from major companies like Best Buy and other well-known computer and technology companies.\u00a0 In-kind grants and donations provide goods, and pro-bono services instead of cash. The process of applying for the grant is basically the same as with monetary grants. Goods awards can include tangible items such as computers, software, cars, clothing, furniture, books, supplies, and office equipment, for use by your organization or for special events like silent auctions and raffles. Goods may also be intangible, such as advertising, meeting space, photocopies, patents, royalties, and copyrights. Goods can range from brand-new to used items. They can be surplus items or equipment that is even just loaned for a period of time. Another type of in-kind grant can be a cash equivalent like a gift certificate.<\/p>\n<p>In-kind services are pro bono professional services donated by groups such as corporations, small businesses, vendors, colleges, individual professionals or tradespeople. For example, your organization could be given training by an expert fundraiser, or a specific number of hours of professional development, accounting, or legal services. What could be better than the gift of time? When a successful expert like the CEO of a financial planning company, an up-and-coming web designer, or a professional photographer offers their time and expertise, the recipients profit greatly, often more than they would have if they&#8217;d gotten the cash equivalent of that expert&#8217;s time and services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GrantWatch<\/a> posts in-kind donation grants that add great value for organizations and businesses\u00a0fitting\u00a0the granter&#8217;s requirements. Two are listed below.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/184742\/grants-and-in-kind-technical-support-to-usa-nonprofits-for-profits-and-agencies-for-innovative-plastics-recycling-programs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grants and In-Kind Technical Support to USA Nonprofits, For-Profits,<br \/>\nand Agencies for Innovative Plastics Recycling Programs, Deadline: 1\/31\/19.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grants and in-kind support to USA nonprofit organizations, government agencies, materials recovery facilities, and for-profit organizations to initiate a plastics recycling program in local communities throughout the country.

Look for a match between what you need and a company&#8217;s products. It&#8217;s important to\u00a0note, in-kind gifts must be accounted for differently than cash for tax purposes, so be sure to consult a tax expert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong>: The author is a staff writer for GrantWatch.com.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What could be better than getting something\u00a0that you thought you&#8217;d have to go out and buy?
