Does your organization/company/school want to do a donation drive for DVIP & RVAP? Wonderful! We ask that you please reach out to our In-Kind Donation Coordinator (319.359.9353) BEFORE you hold your drive. We have limited capacity for very large donations, and it would be disappointing for everyone involved if we are unable to accept your donations after they have been collected.
Valuing items
We receive lots of questions about how to value donated gifts like clothing and household supplies. DVIP, as a non-profit, cannot give you a value for items donated, but we’ve attached some general guidelines and suggestions we have gathered from the Internal Revenue Service and other non-profit organizations.
Here is additional information available from the Internal Revenue Service:
