The job to be done

Value in-kind donations for nonprofit reporting

When a nonprofit receives a large in-kind donation with no sales receipts and must document it under GAAP, staff need a credible fair market value for each item without hours of manual sorting, photographing, and pricing, so they can report the donation accurately and keep front-desk work moving.
