Did you know…? There are many ways to give!
Donations of Stocks
WE accepts donations of stocks. Giving appreciated securities—stocks, bonds, and mutual funds—can benefit both you, as a donor, and WE. In most cases, donors receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the security and do not have to pay capital gains tax on the transfer of securities that have been held for at least a year. We can provide you, your stock broker, financial manager, or other service representative with information on our account for the transfer.
Monthly Support
You can turn your gift into a monthly source of support to empower women and families. Select “Donate Monthly” on our online giving form. You can also contact your bank about a recurring, automatic payment on a monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis. Lead into the new year with a commitment to support the WE mission throughout the year.
Holiday Events with a Purpose
Turn a holiday party into a gift for women’s economic empowerment around the world by offering guests the opportunity to donate to WE and a mission close to your heart. You can collect donations in lieu of host gifts or gift exchanges or in addition to these!
IRA Charitable Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Donate through an IRA Charitable Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This may be a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals, while helping to continue the mission of WE. This can satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year and reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to WE.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Create a Charitable Gift Annuity and both you and WE can benefit. This type of donation can provide you (and/or someone else you designate) with regular, annual payments for life and establish a fund for a donation to WE down the road. You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits depending on how you fund your gift, whether through cash, appreciated property, or IRA assets.
Many great resources provide more information on how to establish a charitable gift annuity, create a Donor-Advised Fund, made a QCD, and much more, including those on San Diego Foundation, Jewish Community Foundation San Diego, National Gift Annuity Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, and Schwab Charitable.
Things to remember:
- December 28 & 29 are the last business days of the month if you do need to contact a financial institution, broker, financial advisor, or other business.
- As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on your generosity and partnership to uplift women and communities in San Diego and around the world. Your tax-deductible donation helps us deliver vital grant funding to help women overcome poverty for themselves and their families for generations to come. We appreciate your support at all levels!
