In-Kind Donations

Green Chimneys gratefully accepts Gifts In-Kind for our many programs and services.

In-kind gift guidelines:

All in-kind gifts must be in good, working condition.

Before we can accept in-kind items they must first be viewed and approved by a member of our staff.

Once it is determined that we can accept the item, donors must complete an In-Kind Gift Form.

We will send you an acknowledgment letter with a description of the item, which will serve as a receipt for your tax purposes. Please note we cannot valuate in-kind items and cannot include a value for the item in the acknowledgment/receipt.

We are always grateful for the generosity of our supporters but please note that we are unable to accept all in-kind gifts offered to us.

Cow

Blossom is a 1-year-old Holstein cow, and she was born a freemartin. A freemartin calf is a common result of twin calves; the female twin absorbs genetic material from a male twin in utero, and after birth develops male traits and subsequently becomes sterile. Since Blossom can’t produce milk, the dairy farm where she was born asked Green Chimneys if we’d like to have her, and of course, we agreed! Blossom came to us around the same time as another calf named Alfie, and the two have grown up together while being cared for by staff and students alike.
