Here
are some ways you might want to help now- or later.
*Matching gifts:
Many businesses and professional entities will match
employee gifts -- in part, in whole, or sometimes in
amounts greater than the gift.
Make your gift count, by talking to
your employer!
*Memorial/recognition gifts:
Memorials and honorariums are gifts that celebrate
the special people in your life.
By donating “in the name of” you are
acknowledging the unique quality of a loved one’s
life, and in turn acknowledging the needs we all
have in common.
*Pledges:
Pledges allow a donor to give a specific amount,
over a period of time. Monthly, quarterly or annual
pledges allow the donor to customize the gift
according to their ability and convenience.
*Gifts of securities:
Donors may realize substantial tax advantages by
transferring gifts of appreciated stock to Action.
Capital gains on the amount of appreciation are
avoided, and the donor receives a tax deduction
for the stock's full market value.
*Gifts of real estate:
Gifts of appreciated property may be donated to
Action. Favorable tax treatment on such a gift may
be advantageous to the donor.
*Deferred gifts:
Deferred gifts in the form of pooled income funds,
trusts and bequests are an important resource of
private support for Action and should be arranged
with the advice of professional counsel.
*Gifts of cash:
A great many gifts to Action are made in the form of
cash. Every gift is significant and appreciated, no
matter the size.
