3 Trillion Dollars of
Unproductive or Unsold Assets
Are Going to Waste Every Day.
By working together we can harness this value.
The Trillion Dollar Facts
“In-kind giving” refers to contributions of goods and services that are of
value to a non-profit organization. Businesses do it, corporations do it, and
so do individual donors.
“Research has shown that more than half of all charitable contributions by companies were in the form of
merchandise not cash. In fact, local companies show such great support that, in the year 2004, they do-
nated more than half a billion dollars in goods.”
– Worthington, D. (2006), Heart & Sold, Cavill & Co.
“Non-cash gifts represented a growing share of contributions made by companies to charities as well and
rose 18% this year alone.”
– Debra Blum., Newsletter of The Chronicle of Philanthropy
“Businesses reported to the Conference Board that 28% of last year’s domestic donations were in forms
other than cash, including products, equipment, real estate, and intellectual-property rights. That was
more than double the percent reported for non-cash gifts in 1990.”
– Center for Local Public Health Services, Community Development Services
“Non-Cash trade, in one form or another, accounts for nearly 30% of the world’s total business.”
– (2004)., Department of Commerce Fact Sheet. USA DOC.
“Approximately 65% of all New York Stock Exchange-listed companies engage in excess capacity ex-
change.”
– Lietaer, B & Belgin, S. (2004)., Of Human Wealth: Beyond Greed & Scarcity.
“On the 60th anniversary of the Swiss WIR excess capacity trading system, annual volume reached 2.5
billion Swiss Francs (over $2 billion US dollars) and coasted nearly 80,000 members nationally. The WIR
enjoys a base of nearly 20% of all Swiss businesses in a country of only 7 million people”
– Valentini, E. (2003)., Switzerland’s WIR System and Barter Worldwide

Every person or business who you come in contact with is a potential “in-kind” donor.
Size does not matter! What matters is your ability to just ask the question “can you support us by donat-
ing anything you have.”
A single donation could be worth $100,000 to another organization, thereby giving you $100,000 worth
of credit to spend on things you need.
Businesses want to donate their excess and idle inventory because it solves their accounting, storage
and disposal issues.

Who Is Ormita?
Ormita acts as a clearinghouse for the trade of excess capacities, goods and services and works through a
combination of manual clearing, online e-commerce trading, 24 hour telephone brokering and independ-
ent licensees and brokers.
At the core of the business is an electronic trading platform that allows participants to buy and sell their
excess capacity and/or stock in return for:
• Cash-flow enhancing products and/or services (advertising, media, public relations, special promo-
tions, new product lines, employee rewards, customer incentives etc)
• Already budgeted for products and/or services (turning surplus assets into truly valuable and useful
products and services).
• Tax-write offs and community goodwill (full market value donations to registered non-profit
organizations)
Ormita is about putting our clients, licensees, employees and communities in control, so that the value of
their collaboration can be fully realized.
Our Values:
Integrity: We act with courage, consistency and respect to do what is honest, fair and trustworthy.
Innovation: We anticipate and respond to challenges and changing needs with creativity, enthusiasm and
determination.
Responsibility: W
e are accountable to our partners, employees, colleagues and the community for the
results of our decisions and actions.

Instead of trading goods and services directly, you will list your offered products with Ormita and sell them
to other organizations for “Trade Credits”.
Trade Credits record the real market value for the product or services acquired by each organization.
These credits can then be used to acquire other market-value goods or services without the need for cash.

Accounting & Tracking In-Kind Donations
Rather than promoting direct trade between participants, Ormita brokers transactions through a
centralized marketplace.
Transactions are recorded in a centralized “ledger” which notes the value of the items purchased from
other non-profits (debit) and sold to other non-profits (credit) – much like a clearinghouse does for stocks,
or a commercial bank does for cheques.
2. When a donated product or service is passed to another organization you receive “trade credits”
for the value of the item.
4. Pricing for items is set by you although buyers and sellers can negotiate online and offer prices.
5. Non-profit donor and recipient transactions are not subject to commissions or any fees.
