Many companies have matching gift programs and will match employee donations up to a certain amount, increasing or even doubling the value of your gift. Check to see if your company offers these programs through our matching gifts page.
We invite you to learn more here.
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) gives individuals who are at least 70 1/2 years old the ability to gift to the Foundation as much as $100,000 directly from your IRA. Since the IRA withdrawal substitutes for your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), you save on taxes while having a strong, positive impact on your community.

Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It’s an easy way to double your contribution to us!
