    Ways to Give

    • One-Time Cash Gifts: The simplest way to support our mission. Whether via credit card, check, or wire transfer, these are 100% deductible.

    • Monthly Giving: Join our circle of recurring donors. You’ll receive an annual summary every January reflecting your total impact for the previous tax year.

    • Corporate Matching: Many employers match charitable gifts dollar-for-dollar. Check with your HR department to see if you can double your deduction and your impact.

    • Physical Items: Physical donations are tax-deductible at their Fair Market Value. Upon donation, we will provide you with a descriptive receipt for your tax records. Please note that per IRS regulations, donors are responsible for estimating the value of their non-cash gifts. For items valued over $5,000, a formal appraisal may be required.

    Tax Note: Under current tax laws, even supporters who take the standard deduction may be eligible for a "universal charitable deduction" up to $1,000. Consult with a tax professional to see how your generosity can optimize your tax return!
