How to Make a Donation

Click to read a message from our Executive Director on donations.

Donations to Help Now! may be made in several ways:

By check: Donations by check should be made payable to Help Now! Advocacy Center and sent to our mailing address as shown on the website.

By credit card: In the near future, we will be set up to take donations by Visa and Mastercard, and those can be made over the telephone or by sending to our mailing address the cardholder’s name, billing address, card number, and expiration date. We also expect at some point relatively soon to have a means to make credit card donations through our website.

By transfer of securities: We have a brokerage account established to accept transfer of securities. This type of donation can be particularly beneficial from a tax savings perspective if you have securities that have appreciated in value significantly. Please call us so that we can provide you the specific instructions needed in order to do such a transfer or if you would simply like to discuss this possibility as an option for giving.

As an estate planning vehicle: We work with both financial services and legal consultants who can help you structure your estate in a manner that can result in significant tax savings to the estate while still benefiting our charitable organization. Depending on your specific circumstances, an estate structure can sometimes be created that does not diminish either the amount of money available to you during your lifetime or the amount subsequently available to your beneficiaries. In fact, again depending on circumstances, you may even be able to increase the income stream from your estate, diminish your taxes, and not adversely affect your beneficiaries in any way.
