Gifts in-kind
In-kind gifts are goods, services, or time, and they help us reduce our costs. Tangible goods include items like equipment and supplies, while intangible items include services such as advertising.
We appreciate every in-kind donation inquiry, and while they can greatly benefit our community, we want to be transparent that facilitating such donations can be tricky.
The most challenging part of donating physical items from overseas is getting them to our office in Steung Meanchey. Packages are often lost, and shipping costs are very high. We are unable to cover the cost of shipping in-kind donations, and we know expecting our supporters to cover these costs is a lot to ask.
The best way to make the most impact is to donate money. We can likely arrange to purchase the items you’re interested in donating locally in Phnom Penh. This is a great way to increase your impact because:
Purchasing products in Phnom Penh stimulates the local economy and helps the country become less dependent on foreign imports and foreign aid
Money goes further in Cambodia - items are typically less expensive to purchase in Cambodia than in many other countries; therefore, we would be able to purchase more items that would be able to benefit more community members
You avoid high shipping costs
We would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to hear what you are interested in donating and to answer any questions you may have. Please email Hem Len at [email protected] for inquiries, contact, or shipping address information. Thank you.
