Your donation can have an impact on your community today. You can make a big difference, no matter the size of your gift. Make a difference today.

Give to the Center and reduce your taxable income? Yes, you can!

Consider giving through your Individual Retirement Account. You can give up to $100,000 directly to the Center, income tax-free! A charitable rollover is not subject to income tax nor is it a tax deduction. So you will still benefit even if you don’t itemize deductions. Your gift will be used today for our highest priority needs.

This rollover qualifies you for your required annual minimum distribution. But we must receive your qualified charitable distribution by Dec. 31st for your gift to qualify for income tax-free status for the previous year. If you plan to take advantage of this option, then talk with your tax advisor as soon as possible. Other questions? Submit your IRA donation form today!

Your donation of a car, boat, or other vehicle to the Center helps create a local culture where everyone feels understood and accepted.

The donation of a vehicle helps you:

• Avoid the hassles of selling it (including paying repair bills)
• Get a tow from wherever it is at no charge
• Free up space
• Have the title transfer handled for you
• Use it as a tax deduction!

The best part, of course, is the good feeling of knowing that you have helped support at-risk and homeless LGBTQ youth, reduce new infections and the stigma attached to HIV, improve access to community resources and provide events, educational programs, and cultural activities to our community.

Workplace Giving

Did you know you can give to the Center by giving through your workplace? Workplace giving programs operate year-round through payroll deductions and also qualify for matching gifts!

You can give through your workplace by participating in the below programs:

California State Employees “Our Promise” Campaign – Find us throughout the year at tabling events exclusive to California state employees or look for the Sacramento LGBT Community Center in your campaign brochure. It’s not too late, sign the interest form, and donate today!

United Way – If your workplace is signed up with United Way, you may be able to give to the Center. Simply request or designate the Sacramento LGBT Community Center in the “designated charity” line.

Corporate Campaigns – Employers may also host their own workplace giving campaigns. You can request further assistance from your HR or Administrative department.

Matching Gifts

Double the impact of your gift through an employer matching gift! From large corporations to state agencies, and even smaller to mid-size businesses, matching gift programs exist to encourage employee giving. Typically, these programs match dollar for a dollar, and sometimes more!  Many employers also match contributions of volunteer time.
