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.

Eli

The flightless emu is the largest bird native to Australia, but this particular emu didn’t travel that far, he’s from Massachusetts. Since he was 3 weeks old, Eli was hand-raised by the children at Green Chimneys and is imprinted, especially comfortable around humans and even other animals. In fact, Eli doesn’t mind sharing his paddock with sheep Bo Peep. At first, children can be afraid of Eli’s intimidating large beak and beady eyes.
