Other Ways to Give
Donor-Advised Funds
With the growing popularity of donor advised fund (DAF) accounts, the American public has clearly embraced the use of such charitable accounts to express their philanthropy. A donor-advised fund provides a flexible way for donors to pass money through to charities—an alternative to direct giving or creating a private foundation.
Lynn Shelter Association is an IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) charity organization.
IN-MEMORY OR HONORARIUM
If you would like to give a gift in memory or to honor an individual or family, LSA will prepare a special card for the family of the honoree.
Benevity
Benevity’s workplace giving is a great way for employees of a corporation to give through their employers. To find out if your employer uses this service, visit https://www.benevity.com/workplace-giving/.
Amazon Wish Lists
For most of us moving is a pain! However, for our clients, moving day is one of the best days of their lives. We have compiled a list of items that will help to alleviate some of the stress our clients face when they are moving into permanent housing. Consider purchasing specific items for our clients moving into permanent housing as a gift. As a thank you, we will share a photo of our client with the donated items. For more information on how this works, feel free to contact us at kelly.gaule@lsahome.org
