in-kind donations and non-profit organisations

9.3 Trillion Dollars of Unproductive or Unsold Assets Are Going to Waste Every Day.

By working together we can harness this value.

The Trillion Dollar Facts “In-kind giving” refers to contributions of goods and services that are of value to a non-profit organization. Businesses do it, corporations do it, and so do individual donors.

“Research has shown that more than half of all charitable contributions by companies were in the form of merchandise not cash. In fact, local companies show such great support that, in the year 2004, they do-nated more than half a billion dollars in goods.”

– Worthington, D. (2006), Heart & Sold, Cavill & Co.

“Non-cash gifts represented a growing share of contributions made by companies to charities as well and rose 18% this year alone.”

– Debra Blum., Newsletter of The Chronicle of Philanthropy

“Businesses reported to the Conference Board that 28% of last year’s domestic donations were in forms other than cash, including products, equipment, real estate, and intellectual-property rights. That was more than double the percent reported for non-cash gifts in 1990.”

– Center for Local Public Health Services, Community Development Services

“Non-Cash trade, in one form or another, accounts for nearly 30% of the world’s total business.”

– (2004)., Department of Commerce Fact Sheet. USA DOC.

“Approximately 65% of all New York Stock Exchange-listed companies engage in excess capacity ex-change.”

– Lietaer, B & Belgin, S. (2004)., Of Human Wealth: Beyond Greed & Scarcity.

“On the 60th anniversary of the Swiss WIR excess capacity trading system, annual volume reached 2.5 billion Swiss Francs (over $2 billion US dollars) and coasted nearly 80,000 members nationally. The WIR enjoys a base of nearly 20% of all Swiss businesses in a country of only 7 million people”

– Valentini, E. (2003)., Switzerland’s WIR System and Barter Worldwide

As the impact of the recession is felt more widely, the opportunity to acquire and make use of unproductive assets will increase.

Why Accept In-Kind Gifts

Unsold production time, empty rooms, unfilled advertising space, vacant ap-pointment time, depreciating inventory, mislabelled stock, end-of-line items, last seasons merchandise, entry tickets and idle assets all have potential value which could be harnessed by your organization.

You can acquire goods and services that you need without spending cash

Your organization can suddenly acquire goods and services which you otherwise might never have been able to purchase.

Approaching a prospective donor and receiving an in-kind donation provides an opportunity for that organization to support your cause without needing to turn you away entirely.

An in-kind donation can be the beginning step of a substantial relationship.

Provides a way for you to continue your activities during difficult financial times.

Does not affect your existing cash donor relationships.

Why Businesses Want To Give You In-Kind Donations

It takes their excess product off-market, thereby retaining the market value for their goods.

Creates savings in warehouse space, disposal costs and staff time.

Allows them to meet their Corporate Social Responsibility goals.

If they plan to close or consolidate a warehouse or distribution centre, it may be more cost effective to donate that inventory rather than move it to another location.

Helps reduce their waste footprint.

Provides an efficient way to keep their balance sheet intact without needing to dispose of their goods.

The tax benefits may be greater than income received from a sale.

Helps reduce waste and meet environmental goals.

Staff and customers want to see their surplus goods going to people in need rather than to the dump.

Donated goods are generally only deductible at cost. Using the Ormita In-Kind Donation Program their donation is eligible for a tax deduction at full retail value.

Gives potentially new customers market exposure to their product or service.

A single email or phone call to Ormita or their nominated charity can take all of their surpluses off their hands.

Why Your Organizations Size Does Not Matter

From an organization of hundreds of thousands of donor relationships to those just starting out, in-kind donations provide those businesses and individuals passionate about your cause the ability to support your efforts.

Every person or business who you come in contact with is a potential “in-kind” donor.

Businesses always have excess product going to waste:

• Empty rooms

• End-of-line items

• Excess capacity

• Expired items

• Incorrectly packaged items

• Liquidation stock

• Outmoded inventory

• Overstocked goods

• Perishable goods

• Slow-moving assets

• Surplus products

• Stock overruns

• Test / trial products

• Unfilled seats

• Unsold tickets

You already have the existing infrastructure to support this process.

Size does not matter! What matters is your ability to just ask the question “can you support us by donat-ing anything you have.”

A single donation could be worth $100,000 to another organization, thereby giving you $100,000 worth of credit to spend on things you need.

Businesses want to donate their excess and idle inventory because it solves their accounting, storage and disposal issues.

Who Is Ormita? Ormita acts as a clearinghouse for the trade of excess capacities, goods and services and works through a combination of manual clearing, online e-commerce trading, 24 hour telephone brokering and independ-ent licensees and brokers.

At the core of the business is an electronic trading platform that allows participants to buy and sell their excess capacity and/or stock in return for:

• Cash-flow enhancing products and/or services (advertising, media, public relations, special promo-tions, new product lines, employee rewards, customer incentives etc)

• Already budgeted for products and/or services (turning surplus assets into truly valuable and useful products and services).

• Investments in new micro-enterprise and small businesses.

• Tax-write offs and community goodwill (full market value donations to registered non-profit organizations)

Companies often characterize themselves as REVOLUTIONARY, inevitably resulting in an element of corporate chaos. We regard ourselves as EVOLUTIONARY.

Ormita is about putting our clients, licensees, employees and communities in control, so that the value of their collaboration can be fully realized.

Our Values:

Integrity: We act with courage, consistency and respect to do what is honest, fair and trustworthy.

Innovation: We anticipate and respond to challenges and changing needs with creativity, enthusiasm and determination.

Responsibility: We are accountable to our partners, employees, colleagues and the community for the results of our decisions and actions.

Trading Your “In-Kind” Donations Ormita provides your organization the option to exchange your donated goods or services with other or-ganizations in return for things you need.

Instead of trading goods and services directly, you will list your offered products with Ormita and sell them to other organizations for “Trade Credits”.

Trade Credits record the real market value for the product or services acquired by each organization.

These credits can then be used to acquire other market-value goods or services without the need for cash.

Accounting & Tracking In-Kind DonationsRather than promoting direct trade between participants, Ormita brokers transactions through a centralized marketplace.

Transactions are recorded in a centralized “ledger” which notes the value of the items purchased from other non-profits (debit) and sold to other non-profits (credit) – much like a clearinghouse does for stocks, or a commercial bank does for cheques.

1. In-Kind Donation offers are listed in an online database by your organization.

2. When a donated product or service is passed to another organization you receive “trade credits” for the value of the item.

3. 1 Trade Credit = $1.

4. Pricing for items is set by you although buyers and sellers can negotiate online and offer prices.

5. Non-profit donor and recipient transactions are not subject to commissions or any fees.
