Gifts In Kind

Gifts-in-Kind (GIK) is a type of charitable giving in which, instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services, the goods and services are given.  As Christians, we give because sharing with others is at the core of the Gospel.

A GIK shipment involves sending a 40-foot container, and in some instances, a 20-foot container, to Nazarene ministries overseas. The container, loaded with GIK items, is transported by truck to a nearby port, then loaded onto a sea vessel and shipped overseas. Containers can be purchased and will remain in the country of destination to be used by the recipient organization. The recipient organization is called the Consignee.
