contributions in kind


Explanation:
These are contributions to a project other than financial contributions, but which can be given a financial value - eg work hours donated by individuals, donations of goods or services, loan of land or property in lieu of rent etc.

Often used in NGO management to take into account non-financial contributiosn which nonetheless can have a significant impact on the operation of the organisation and they usually have to be taken into account in tax returns.
