How You Can Help 

There is so much more to do.  With the increase of Homelessness and Hunger, and the many other important programs going on all year long, here are some ways that you can help your fellow man.  In addition to an outright monetary gift, there are many other ways you can give:

• Make a gift of appreciated stock which may help you avoid paying capital gains tax. 
• Use cash or an asset such as a vacation home, stock or mutual fund shares to fund a Charitable Gift Annuity and receive guaranteed income for life along with a tax-deduction. Depending on your age, a CGA with The Salvation Army can pay out as much as 9%, offering a highly secure fixed return at a rate that exceeds CDs or bonds. 
• Make a bequest or establish an endowment fund for your favorite Salvation Army program. 
• If you are at least 70 ½years old, you can make a contribution directly from your IRA to The Salvation Army, lowering your taxable income. 

If you are able to provide stock, cash or an asset, IRA contribution or interested in making a bequest, please contact one of our Donor Relations Directors. She can advise you and provide you with the information necessary to ensure your gift and wishes meet your intentions.
