Gifts in Kind

Many people think of a business' annual budget in terms of dollars for broad categories such as employee salaries or paying the monthly utility bill - but for a Boy Scout council, it is much more.

Instead think of the council's annual budget as the ink and paper needed for a flier distributed at a school to educate boys and their parents about the fun and adventure of Cub Scouting. It is the tents a scout sleeps in while on his adventure at Katahdin Scout Reservation. It is the labor and materials needed to renovate a building at Maine High Adventure. Project sales and gifts in kind can be an integral part of helping the Katahdin Area Council deliver quality programs and services to our community.

Gifts in kind - Project sales help…
• Identify special sources of income
