It\u2019s cost-effective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">giveNkind is a completely free service. Instead of spending money throwing inventory away, giveNkind provides a more cost-effective option with no fees associated with donating. Businesses can also write off donations during tax season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-your-products-are-purposefully-given\">2. Your products are \u201cpurposefully\u201d given<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a chance to get your products into the hands of those who can use it the most. giveNkind is a nonprofit for nonprofits. Through giveNkind\u2019s web-based, searchable database and contact platform, nonprofit partners can share their wish lists and search for specific items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-it-s-a-greener-option\">3. It\u2019s a greener option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of simply throwing away your inventory (and paying for it), giveNkind provides a more sustainable option by giving the items to those who need it. This way, you\u2019re given an opportunity to do good for the environment and make a difference in a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-amp-a-with-givenkind-founder-emily-petway\">Q&amp;A with giveNkind founder, Emily Petway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about giveNkind\u2019s partnership with ShipBob, read our Q&amp;A with Emily below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jon:<\/strong> Between your mission, purpose, and vision, I noticed a unique common thread: The notion that this kind of donating is equally impactful for the person giving as it is for the person receiving. Was this the genesis of how giveNkind came to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emily:<\/strong> Prior to returning home with my family to Chicago, I was a high school teacher outside of Atlanta. I had amazing students, some of whom worked jobs to help support their family. In talking with a particular student who was always studying, working, or helping to care for her siblings, I asked her if she was going to the school homecoming dance. When she told me that she wanted to go but couldn\u2019t afford the dress, I was saddened that this excellent student was having to miss out on a night of being a kid and having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s when I found Becca\u2019s Closet, a nation-wide organisation that collects and distributes formalwear to students in need free of charge. Starting with 1 box of 100 dresses, my chapter grew over 7 years to over 3,000 dresses to serve students all across the Atlanta metro area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At one point, we were given a free-standing, 1,200-foot commercially zoned house at no cost \u2014 under one condition: We needed to keep up the lawn so that we could meet the city code. If the grass got too long and we received a violation, we would have to move. It became very important for our organisation to find a free lawnmower. Through a free repurposing site, I monitored the posts to await a lawnmower offer. There was a lawnmower offered, but, being in class teaching at that time, I missed the post. In the first-come, first-serve system, the mower was claimed by a man who needed an extra mower for his lake house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was a convenience to one individual was a vital need to our nonprofit\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the point when I realized that nonprofits needed a platform to post their needs and a place for donors to show nonprofits what they have to give. Nonprofits would be the only recipients of the goods, making sure donations were going to those who need them the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jon:<\/strong> From there, how did giveNkind begin and grow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emily:<\/strong> I moved back to Chicago with my family in the summer of 2012 and began the organising documents for giveNkind. Years later, we developed our site, built 100% by volunteers, including service grants from JP Morgan Chase, University of Illinois Business Consulting MBA alumni, and the team of volunteers who meet weekly to work on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re the first organisation of our kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re a registered 501(c)(3); we know nonprofits because we are a nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our site allows registered 501c3 charities to receive items, so donors know they are helping organizations that need it the most. Individual donors and nonprofits connect directly, allowing nonprofits to make sure the donor gift fits their needs best and allows donors to see how their gift impacts the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jon:<\/strong> As our businesses have grown, our relationship has evolved. What can you say about staying agile as a nonprofit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emily:<\/strong> Regardless of what part of the nonprofit sector a charity covers, we\u2019re all looking to leave the world a better place. This means that by nature, nonprofits are always growing and changing to meet the needs of those they serve. Even if the need remains the same over time, nonprofits must be creative to stay sustainable and bring more attention to their cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The needs, expectations, and even the ways in which nonprofits communicate with clients and donors is ever-changing. The most important assets a nonprofit can have \u2014 beyond the ever-present need for funding \u2014 are flexibility, persistence, and belief in people and their cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jon:<\/strong><span>Something I\u2019m personally passionate about is supporting local causes in the neighborhoods ShipBob operates in. <\/span>Which groups and organizations does giveNkind benefit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emily:<\/strong> giveNkind currently has 51 registered nonprofit partners. Their missions vary from transitional housing, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmyarea.com\/resources\/how-to-claim-special-benefits-for-disabled-veterans-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supporting veterans<\/a>, to animal fostering, to education programs, and so many more. These organizations are all in the Chicagoland area and we\u2019re looking to continue to grow our network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only requirement to become a giveNkind partner is being a registered 501(c)3 charitable organisation \u2014 this allows organizations to give donors receipts for their tax records. You can learn more about all of the organizations we serve on our <a href=\"https:\/\/support.shipbob.com\/s\/article\/How-to-Donate-Inventory-through-GiveNkind\/\">Nonprofit Community Partners<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jon:<\/strong> What are the most needed items?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emily:<\/strong> With our nonprofit partners covering a wide range of causes, which means the need for donations is diverse. While many organizations share similar wishlist items, such as personal care products and school supplies, I want to emphasize that there are also less obvious needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important for donors to remember that while an item may no longer be useful for you, it may be just what an organisation needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-involved\">Getting involved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=1280px\" alt=\"shipbob partnership with givenkind\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/giveNkind-d-partnership.jpg?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">giveNkind is always looking for individuals and companies willing to help.
