Ways to Give
Company Matching
If you work for a large corporation or company, they often having a matching gift policy and may match your donation 1:1 or even 2:1! We've received matching gifts from Capital Group; Wells Fargo; Becton, Dickinson, and Company; Payden & Rygel; and more. Check with your employer today, and usually there is a simple form or application to fill out that Villa confirms. If you need help with a matching gift form, please contact Heather Nagami, Senior Philanthropy Coordinator, at HNagami@VillaES.org. Click here to donate today!
Electronic Funds Transfer through Fidelity Charitable’s DAF Giving
Use your donor-advised fund to donate through Fidelity Charitable’s DAF Giving. Learn more about DAF Giving here, or click below to donate from your existing account.
Give from Your IRA
If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, an IRA charitable rollover is a great option to make your gift to Villa! You can donate directly from your IRA to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money. Additionally, once you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution. Learn more here.
