Q: We purchased two tires and a vehicle tow for a recently homeless family. Should the value of these items be listed under “other” under “in kind” services and goods?

A: If Conference funds were spent to purchase tires and vehicle tow, report the amount spent under “Those We Serve.” “In Kind” services (legal, medical, dental, other) and Goods (food, furniture, clothing, other) are resources provided to neighbors with no financial cost to the Conference. In-Kind is either donated goods or pro bono services.

Q: One of our Conference members is an attorney who does pro bono volunteer work. How should he report the number of times and value of his “in-kind” legal services, with our Conference, District, and Diocesan Councils?

A: When reporting “in kind” services, the number of times services/goods were provided to a person/family unit should be counted, as well as the value of the services/goods. The value is based on the reasonable cost if a person with financial means would have to pay for the same goods or services. The amount is an estimate at our best judgement.

P: Compramos dos llantas y un remolque para vehículo para una familia que se quedó sin hogar recientemente. ¿Debería incluirse el valor de estos artículos en la sección “otros” y en la sección “en especie” de servicios y bienes?

R: Si los fondos de la Conferencia se gastaron para comprar llantas y remolque para vehículos, informe la cantidad gastada en “Aquellos a quienes servimos”. Los servicios “en especie” (legales, médicos, dentales, otros) y los bienes (alimentos, muebles, ropa, otros) son recursos proporcionados a los prójimos sin costo financiero para la Conferencia. Los bienes en especie son bienes donados o servicios pro-bono.

P: Uno de los miembros de nuestra Conferencia es un abogado que hace trabajo voluntario pro-bono. ¿Cómo se debe informar el número de veces y el valor de sus servicios legales “en especie”, con nuestros Consejos de Distrito y Diocesano?

R: Para informar sobre los servicios “en especie”, se debe contar el número de veces que se proporcionaron servicios o bienes a una persona o a una unidad familiar, así como el valor de los servicios o bienes. El valor se basa en el costo razonable si usted, yo, o una persona con medios financieros tuviera que pagar por los mismos bienes o servicios. La cantidad es una estimación a nuestro mejor juicio.
