Additional Giving Options
Gifts-in-kind are gifts of property that are voluntarily transferred by a donor to WSU Tech without compensation. These gifts may include equipment, vehicles, materials, supplies, artwork and other personal property a donor might give to WSU Tech. Gifts of services are not considered to be a tax-deductible contribution.
The donor and/or department representative completes the Gift-In-Kind Form. The department head or dean shall sign the form where appropriate and send to the Foundation for receipting. It is important to designate the department that the gift is to be credited to. All donors receive a charitable tax receipt or acknowledgement for all donated items upon acceptance of approved and completed form.
- All gifts of equipment and materials donated through the WSU Tech Foundation become college property.
- Gifts of motor vehicles and airplanes shall include title, bill of sale and IRS Form 1098-C.
