How We Can

How can we make a difference? There are many 'hows. Let's start here:

Cash Donations: Direct monetary contributions are the most common form of donation. This can be done through online platforms, checks, or wire transfers.

In-Kind Donations: Donating goods or services that the non-profit organization needs, such as office supplies, furniture, or professional services like legal or marketing assistance.

Volunteer Time: Offering time and skills by volunteering at the organization's events, programs, or day-to-day operations.

Matching Gifts: Many companies have matching gift programs where they match their employees' donations to eligible non-profit organizations, effectively doubling the impact of the donation.

Stock Donations: Donating stocks or other appreciated securities can provide tax benefits to the donor while supporting the non-profit organization.

Planned Giving: Including the non-profit organization in one's will or estate plan, leaving a legacy gift to support their mission.

Fundraising Events: Organizing or participating in fundraising events such as charity runs, galas, auctions, or bake sales to raise funds for the non-profit.

Corporate Sponsorship: Companies can sponsor specific programs, events, or initiatives of non-profit organizations, often receiving recognition and publicity in return.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): Contributing to a donor-advised fund, which is a charitable giving vehicle that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

Cause Marketing Campaigns: Companies can partner with non-profit organizations to create cause-related marketing campaigns, where a portion of sales proceeds or profits are donated to the non-profit.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other creative ways individuals and companies can support non-profit organizations. How creative can we get?

Remember Why We Do This...

Donating to charities is beneficial as it provides crucial support to various causes, such as aiding those in need, funding medical research, and supporting environmental conservation. By contributing, individuals can make a positive impact on society, promote social welfare, and address pressing issues, ultimately fostering a more compassionate and equitable world.

Let Us All Remember Why We Do This...

We all have a passion. A reason. A reason why we get involved, a reason why we support the things that we do. The things that are good in this world should dominate the world. Yes, that can happen...if WE want it to!
