What do in-kind donations to the CARF Foundation consist of?

Donations in kind are those in which instead of contributing a sum of money or an inheritance or testamentary legacy, the donor or benefactor makes a contribution of contribution of material goods of a certain value.

In most situations these are assets that are valuable and that the donor already understands that they will not use or do not need on a day-to-day basis for whatever reason.

How to make donations in kind to the CARF Foundation

First, the donor believes that they will be of greater use if they are contributed to support a noble cause such as that of the CARF Foundation, and decides to donate them to support the comprehensive training of priestly and religious vocations.

After conducting an initial assessment of the assets by the CARF Foundation to see if an objective benefit can be obtained from the donation in kind, are collected from the benefactor's home, and these goods will subsequently receive a professional appraisal from a pawnbroker.

Once they have been auctioned by a reputable auction house, the proceeds will be used to support vocations for priests and religious, tax deductible in the tax declaration made by the benefactor of the CARF Foundation.
