Non-compete agreement: The primary business of
Gifts In Kind International is the coordination
of
donor efforts to donate goods for charitable purposes.

Kind International’s donors. Gifts In Kind
International and recipient organization agree that
recipient organization’s solicitation of Gifts
In Kind International donors without Gifts In Kind
International’s prior approval is improper
and contravenes the purpose of the Gifts In Kind

formed in this Agreement.

laws of Virginia.
