In-kind Contributions
An in-kind contribution is a contribution of a good or a service other than money. You do not need to submit written records of in-kind contributions received for your activity. However, it is your organisation’s responsibility to keep written records (e.g. letter of donations or receipts) of the in-kind support committed or received to be provided in the acquittal of your grant.
How do you calculate your in-kind contribution?
The calculation of your in-kind contribution is based on your best estimates.
- calculate volunteer general labour at $20 per hour
- calculate volunteer specialist labour (for example, engineer or architect) at $45 per hour
- calculate donated goods at the price you would pay for them if they were not donated
