In-Kind Contributions - Guidelines
In today’s busy world, volunteer time is extremely valuable, greatly appreciated and recognized. We acknowledge that your time is valuable and therefore have set cash values to reflect your in-kind contribution.
Contributions matching CYFF funding can be made in the form of either “in-kind” or cash.
In-kind contributions are normally in the form of assets or services, toward a project (ie labour, materials/supplies, existing equipment and facility use). In accordance with the CYFF Agreement, in-kind contributions must be supported by actual receipts signed by the donor of the contribution (see attached example). The in-kind statements must be submitted at the completion of the project with the invoices and other year-end documentation. The estimated worth of in-kind contributions must be justifiable in terms of current market value for the item provided. All projects must have at least 50% of the total project expenses matched by in-kind contribution.
Labour: the time spent on the project and valued according to current salary rates
Materials/Supplies: the fair market value for the purchase
Existing Equipment: the standard rental rate
Facility use: the market rental rates
If assistance is needed for determining the in-kind contribution, contact the CYFF office.
