What is a gifts-in-kind donation?
A gifts-in-kind (GIK) donation is a contribution of tangible goods or services rather than a cash donation.
When you partner with NBCF for a gifts-in-kind donation, you’re not just donating products; you’re making a difference in the lives of individuals and communities in need. Each item donated is thoughtfully distributed to meet the unique needs of breast cancer patients, underserved communities, and those in need of breast health education and resources.
What items can be donated to National Breast Cancer Foundation?
NBCF accepts a wide variety of items that go directly to our programs that support those facing breast cancer. Our most needed items typically are lotion, makeup, and fuzzy socks. However, many items are accepted and appreciated. To view the full list of donatable items, fill out the form below.
