Business, Church, School, and Group Contributions: Businesses, churches, schools and service groups may designate SafePlace as the organization they wish to support for a specific period of time. You might designate a percentage of sales for a specific day or proceeds from a certain promotion to SafePlace. You may also host an event to raise money, such as jeans day where employees pay to wear jeans.
Many places choose to do a fundraiser for SafePlace in October in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, or in February in honor of Teen Dating Violence Awareness.
Matching Gifts: Many companies offer a matching gifts program. When you donate to a nonprofit organization such as SafePlace, some employers offer a matching contribution. Check with your employer – it’s a great way to increase your gift.
Memorial Donations: Memorial donations are a meaningful way to honor the memory of someone who touched your life in a special way. Families may specify in the obituary that donations be made to SafePlace. Each donor receives a personal thank you, and the family is notified of every gift that is made in memory of their loved one (dollar amounts are not revealed).
Honorary Gifts: Honorary gifts are a great way to make a donation in honor of someone special to you. It is a thoughtful way to observe a birthday, anniversary, holiday or other special occasions. The person honored by your contribution will receive a special card announcing your gift (dollar amounts are not revealed).
Planned gifts are a way to designate a gift that is not actually received by SafePlace until after your death. A planned gift is often made through a will or estate plan.
You can designate SafePlace as the beneficiary of your assets like the ones listed below.
Bequest gifts enable you to receive an estate tax deduction, reducing the burden of taxes on your family. They also leave a lasting legacy to charity. An attorney or estate planner can help you include a bequest to SafePlace.
Gifts of Stocks and Bonds: Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift.
Gifts of Real Estate: Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift and also provide tax savings.
Gifts of Retirement Assets: Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift.
Gifts of Insurance: A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider gifting it to SafePlace. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
