IN - KIND CAN BE UNKIND The term “in - kind” has special meaning in the world of relief and development. In - kind donations are part of an agreement between a company and a charitable organization to send specific supplies based on a confirmed need. In - kind donations: Are specifically requested by a charitable organization working on - site Are available in sufficient quantity to serve affected populations Are easily integrated into existing relief and development programs Are monitored for e ffectiveness. Collections of canned food, bottled water, used clothing, toys, books, shoes and other household items are sometimes incorrectly referred to as “in - kind donations ”, but only supplies that meet all of the above criteria are truly in - kind. For survivors, relief workers, local merchants and host - country personnel, unsolicited collections of household items can end up being un - kind. A case of good intentions gone awry , uninvited material donations take up space needed to stage and distribute l ife - saving relief supplies, divert relief workers’ time and may be culturally, nutritionally and environmentally inappropriate for survivors.
