Quick answer

Use it when goods rather than money arrive: each gift is logged by item, quantity, condition, batch and receiving staff, so the storage plan, the thank-you letters and the year-end statements all read from the same list.

About this template

Donated goods are the hardest gifts to track: they arrive as boxes, not transactions. This form captures each in-kind gift the way a warehouse needs it — what, how many, what condition, which batch, who received it — so the storage plan, the thank-you letter and the year-end statement all read from the same list instead of from memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an in-kind gift log different from a cash donation record?
Cash is one number; goods are item, quantity, condition and storage. This log keeps those fields so stock and audits match; money gifts belong in the donation record form.
Should valuation be entered here?
You may note an estimated value, but keep it apart from official numbers — accepted values for receipts follow the rules your accountant sets.
Who can add entries?
Give the link to receiving staff; each entry carries their name for traceability.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set categories to your stock list, reuse for every drive.
What if a batch is damaged on arrival?
Condition is graded at intake with an optional photo — disputes end at the entry.
How does this help acknowledgements?
Thank-you letters can quote real items and quantities, and year-end statements pull from the same list.
