Giving a gift in kind

Supporting us is not always about giving money

Many of the most successful partnerships with businesses come about when a company donates gifts in kind. Donating a product or service saves us money on running costs for the charity so that donations can be used where they are most needed.

Even if at first glance you feel your business has little to offer us, think again - you may be surprised by some of the imaginative partnerships that have been forged!

Many long-term and highly successful partnerships between businesses and charities have been based on these valuable gifts. You may also be able to claim tax relief on your gift.

“Choosing Wiltshire Air Ambulance as our Charity of the Year has provided a focus for our fundraising and community work. Besides making a difference to such a vital local charity, our fundraising activities are great for fostering teamwork and having fun.”

Raffle and auction prizes

Could your company donate something special for a prize draw or auction?

As well as our biannual Charity Ball auction, we run several raffles throughout the year and are always grateful for prize donations. Prizes donated for these events are seen by a huge audience and so, as well as helping to raise money for the charity, your business will also benefit from great PR.

If you think that you have a gift in kind that you could offer the charity, please speak to your fundraising contact.
