In-kind donations offer businesses the opportunity to give excess merchandise, materials, or services while receiving the full tax benefits of a cash donation. In-kind donations help CASA of Los Angeles to fulfill its mission. Sometimes you may have resources in addition to money or time that would be helpful to CASA of Los Angeles.
