Matching Gifts
You can make the most of your gift to the Downtown Women’s Center by finding out if your employer matches charitable contributions!  Your donation can go two or even three times as far – simply by filling out a form and mailing it to DWC.  Check with company’s Human Resources department for details.

 

Planned Gifts
Remembering the Downtown Women’s Center in your estate can help ensure our sustainability long into the future. By arranging for a bequest, a gift of insurance, a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust, your generosity will go on to benefit women for years to come.  As you consider naming DWC in your life insurance policy, will, or trust, please consult your financial and legal advisors for guidance before contacting the DWC Development staff, and many thanks for your kind support.

 

Gifts of Stock
Giving stock offers three advantages:  you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of your stock; you receive an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift (you must have held the stock for at least one year in order to qualify for these tax benefits); and your gift directly benefits women in need of your help.
