Can I make a donation online?

Yes, you can! We have set up an account with PayPal where you can make your online donations using any major credit card. We decided to use PayPal for this system for their proven online security, ease of use, flexibility in payment options, and because they have proven themselves by combining with other charitable organizations to process their online donations.

To make your online donation, go to our Online Donations page.

Can I make a gift in memory or in honor of someone?

Yes, include with your donation the name of the person in whose honor you are donating, as well as the name and address of the person to whom an acknowledgment should be sent. This information shall be submitted directly to us through a follow-up form after you have submitted your secure online donation through PayPal. We will send acknowledgements to person(s) that you designate to be notified of your gift. We never specify the amount, only that a gift has been received on their behalf from you. However, you will be asked if you would like your name to be posted on our List of Donors Page, at which point your donation will be placed in a category based on amount.

What are some creative tax-deductible ways to donate?

• Donations of appreciated shares of stock or mutual funds
• Naming a charity as beneficiary of a life insurance policy
• Planned giving, such as wills, trusts or other types of gifts
• Corporate matching gift programs
  Many corporations offer to match donations made by their employees to charitable organizations. Ask the corporate-donations officer or your human resources department if your company participates. Even if your company doesn’t have a program, you might be able to take advantage of the matching gift program of a parent, subsidiary or affiliate company.
• Employer gift programs
  If you are an employer, consider making a contribution to the Foundation in your employees’ names, as a meaningful way to celebrate birthdays, holidays or other occasions when you might give material gifts.
