Other ways to donate

Creative and powerful ways for individuals and organizations to make a big difference…

Individual and family donations

Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are a favored means of charitable giving.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic financial vehicle in which donors contribute money to an investment fund managed by a sponsoring organization. Donors can contribute cash and a wide range of non-cash assets, including stocks, shares of mutual funds, publicly traded securities, private assets, and crypto. Donors can then recommend grants be made to charities of their choice using money from the fund.

Estate Gifts

Designating part of your assets after death to one or more charities is a noble way to make an impact.

And you don’t need to be a millionaire to do it. Including gifts to charities in your estate plan can alleviate any concerns about donating too much too early and possibly overextending yourself if you need your nest egg for long-term care or other expenses. You can feel generous now by giving later, while keeping a cash cushion.

Memorial Wall

A Memorial Wall in the pantry features plaques bearing the names of people who wish to be remembered by our supporters.

A donation of $100 or more is required for inclusion of the Wall, however, this minimum can be reached through the aggregation of multiple donations from multiple donors.
