Matching Gifts
Please ask your company about its matching gifts program - the process is usually very simple and it's a great way to increase the value of your donation!
Thousands
of companies, including corporations, foundations, nonprofits, and
associations, match their employees' charitable contributions -
sometimes for as much as double the amount of the initial gift.
In
addition to matching gifts of cash, some employers will match your gift
of stock or securities. Some even match gifts made by employee spouses,
retirees and board members.
Gifts of Stock
Do you own stock, bonds, or mutual funds that you'd like to convert, but you don't want to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation? Giving non-cash property enables you to help CommonDreams.org while conserving your cash for other uses. Plus you may gain greater tax savings than you would if you made an equivalent donation of cash.
Your accountant or broker can advise you on the tax consequences of making a gift of stock, bonds or mutual funds to CommonDreams.org. If you choose to donate non-cash property, please contact katherine@commondreams.org [2].
Community Foundations
Some of our supporters make donor-advised contributions through their local community foundations. Community foundations make grants to a wide variety of charitable causes.
There are nearly 700 community foundations in the United States.
You can find the community foundation in your city or state here [3], and learn how you can make a donor-advised contribution.
Endowment
Like any nonprofit, we struggle with operational costs and how to remain sustainable from year to year. You can help permanently support CommonDreams.org by making and endowment gift.
Endowment funds are managed to grow steadily over time. Each year, some of the earnings from the funds are distributed. Over time, an endowment helps us count on steady funding to meet our budget expenses. If you have questions about creating an endowment for CommonDreams.org, please contact katherine@commondreams.org. [2]
