In-Kind Donations
Put Your Skills and Resources to Work for the Arts
An in-kind donation refers to a contribution of goods, services, or time, rather than a financial gift. In-kind donations are valuable to organizations like Beck Center for the Arts because they help support operations and programs without requiring cash funding.
In-kind donations are a meaningful way for individuals and organizations to support Beck Center without making a monetary contribution. These types of donations can be as simple as providing physical items, professional services, or even volunteer hours.
In-kind donations—such as goods, services, or professional time—help Beck Center reduce costs, increase impact, and build stronger community connections. They’re also tax-deductible, offering value to both the donor and our organization.
