Safetynet Children and Youth Charities is able to issue donation-in-kind receipts for some items it receives, if requested. It will issue receipts after accepting and inspecting the items, not at pick up time.
It is of utmost importance that any receipt for donation in kind be justified. This table serves as a modest estimate for good quality used items, that should not exceed the reasonable market value of the item. In cases where an item is of higher value than normal (example: mahogany kitchen table and chairs in pristine condition that cost over $1000 originally), the price will not be escalated beyond the value below ($415), due to the difficulty in administering the reasonable value.
In all cases the items must be in good enough condition to last years, and a reasonable, desirable quality. For example, an end table can be a simple basic wood slab and legs. That would be unacceptable as a reasonable gift item, it needs to be professional grade finish and strength.
Safetynet will only accept items when they are currently needed and will not pick up small total value of items, where the cost overhead becomes too high. Safetynet has to be contacted with the items listed and with good pictures in order to assess needs, or in cases that appear to warrant it, someone may go to the site to review items.
Many household items have been excluded from the table below. Items of less than $30 value for example will not be issued a donation in kind receipt. Safetynet still has good need for many of these items and will list those items on their website. Dish sets, kitchen appliances, practical items are all useful.
Decorative non-essential items are generally not accepted.
Clothing and cloth of any quality, even torn or worn, is always gladly accepted, without any donation in kind receipt. Any unusable clothing items are sold to recycle/reuse companies, and in fact provides an important part of the charity funding. Also Safetynet accepts boxes of diapers of all sizes.
Safetynet is not a re-sale store. Ordinarily Safetynet provides all items free to clients. If an exceptionally high value item is donated, Safetynet does reserve the right to sell the item for funding purposes.
Store donated, new/unsold items can be dealt with by store receipts, not this table.
Items of $0 value should not be accepted by Safetynet. If accepted they will generally be sent to waste.
Safetynet will charge for pick up per policies set out in their web page.
In all cases, of course, we welcome monetary donations and issue tax receipts for charitable donations above $20.
