IN-KIND GIVING

Not every gift has to be a check. Many of our strongest community partnerships start with a donation of products, services, or time — and they matter just as much as cash sponsorship. In-kind gifts help us run events like the Girls Empowerment Camp, support firehouse wellness efforts, and keep our overhead low so more of every dollar reaches the firefighters and programs we serve.

What an in-kind gift can look like:

  • Food & beverage for camp days, trainings, or firehouse events (meals, snacks, coffee, water, sports drinks)
  • Product donations for participant swag bags (sunscreen, hydration gear, water bottles, apparel)
  • Services (printing, embroidery, photography, transportation, venue space)
  • Equipment, gear, or technology relevant to training and safety
  • Gift cards or vouchers usable by camp participants or firehouse crews

How in-kind gifts are recognized:

We recognize in-kind donations at the sponsorship tier matching the fair market (retail) value of the goods or services provided — a $2,500 in-kind gift receives the same recognition as a $2,500 cash gift at the Firefighter Level, and so on. If you’re not sure how to value your donation, we’re happy to work through it together.

To arrange an in-kind donation, contact Jill Watson directly at jill@contracostafirefoundation.org or 925-548-7868 — we’ll coordinate drop-off, pickup, or delivery details directly with you.
