Donating products and services is another invaluable and generous way companies can support us. Gifts in Kind free up money that would have been spent on overheads. This enables us to spend more of our resources and time fighting global poverty and disadvantage.
VSO very much appreciates gift in kind support from our corporate partners. Many thanks to the following:
- Durex donated more than 250,000 condoms for distribution by one of our partner organisations in Bangladesh
- Co-op provided fair trade wine for fundraising events
- PricewaterhouseCoopers donated office space for a recruitment event
- Lovells gave pro bono legal advice
- AstraZeneca donated anti-malarial drugs for volunteers
Examples of greatly needed resources include:
- Mailing/courier services
- Flights
- Conference and/or meeting venues
- Prizes and gifts for fundraising events
- Food and drink donations for fundraising events
- Staff training opportunities
- Office equipment
