Smart Giving

Four Smart Giving Options

Rather than donating cash, many of our donors are opting for smarter giving, non-cash options that not only support our mission but may also offer a variety of tax benefits. Click the button below to learn more about giving cryptocurrency, gifts from your IRA, or making a grant from a donor-advised fund.

Save Taxes by Donating Stocks!

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and you can get the tax savings you deserve.

If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify HSSW of your gift.

Save on Taxes by Giving from your IRA

If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By clicking on the button below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

Easily Make a Grant from your Donor-Advised Fund

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today.

The secure DAF link below:

  • Automatically links with your DAF
  • Allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used
  • Notifies HSSW of your intentions

Clicking on the button below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.

We now Accept Cryptocurrency Donations!

We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
