Gifts by Credit Card or ACH
Your immediate donation provides direct support for children and families today. Setting a credit card or ACH to be recurring helps sustain counseling, enrichment programs, and family support services right when they’re needed most.
Donor-Advised Fund Gifts
If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can direct a gift to Tanager quickly and easily. DAF gifts can be one-time or recurring, and may offer tax advantages while multiplying your impact.
Appreciated Assets
Donating stocks, securities, or real estate can be a tax-smart way to maximize your impact. These gifts often allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while still receiving a charitable deduction.
IRA / Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are 70½ or older, you can donate directly from your IRA to Tanager. These Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) can satisfy required minimum distributions and may reduce your taxable income.
Planned Gifts
Including Tanager in your will, trust, or estate plans ensures your generosity continues for generations. Planned gifts create a legacy of hope, care, and opportunity that will serve children and families far into the future. Individuals who make a planned or legacy gift are eligible to join the Volk Legacy Society.
Tribute & Memorial Gifts
Celebrate or honor a loved one with a meaningful gift in their name. Tribute gifts support children today while creating a lasting legacy for the person you wish to remember.
