'In kind' in relation to payments or similar means 'consisting of goods or services, not money'.

You presumably mean "in_kind_donations"? Anyway, it's a quirk of the
English language that a phrase that normally consists of separate words
is generally hyphenated when it is used 'attributively', i.e. as a
quasi-adjective before a noun. So I might write, 'He made a donation in
kind' but 'He made an in-kind donation'.
