TEN WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

When you contribute to Crossroads Fund, you transform your money into political action. Whether your financial situation allows you to give $25, $250, or upwards of $25,000, you are an important partner in efforts to create social transformation. If you'd like to begin participating in Crossroads Fund by becoming a donor, here are some of your options:

  1. Contribute online. Our secure gift service offers a quick, convenient, and safe method for making a contribution with your credit card. You also have the option to make a monthly or quarterly pledge to be applied to your credit card automatically. 
  2. Write a check today. Also, check out if your employer has a charitable contributions matching program– a great way to leverage your dollars! 
  3. Transfer stock or real property and avoid capital gains taxes, while receiving a tax deduction. 
  4. Write Crossroads Fund into your will or talk to family members about planning a bequest to Crossroads Fund in your name. 
  5. Establish a Charitable Trust. Certain trust options may reduce your taxes now or in the future, while benefitting Crossroads Fund. We can work with you and/or your financial advisor to set up such an arrangement. Contact Crossroads Fund’s Executive Director Jeanne Kracher for more information. 
  6. Donate Life Insurance. This affords a tax advantage while enabling you to give a larger gift than you might otherwise find possible.
  7. Establish a Donor Advised Fund to fit your philanthropic purposes and Crossroads Fund’s tax-exempt program. 
  8. Honor someone special by giving a gift in their name– birthdays, relationship ceremonies, anniversaries, holidays are all opportunities to give. Crossroads will send an acknowledgement gift card to the recipient. Memorial gifts are also a means of remembering and continuing an individual’s commitment to social change. 
  9. Build the Reserve Fund. We are building this fund to guarantee a stable pool of resources for grassroots groups over the "long haul" and as our goals increase.
  10. Volunteer time, goods & services, and help spread the word about Crossroads Fund. Volunteers who give their time and skills help to truly make Crossroads a community foundation. You can also help to widen our support base by introducing friends, family, and colleagues to Crossroads Fund. Contact us for more information. 

 

Crossroads Fund is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) public foundation. All contributions are tax-deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law. Our tax ID Number is 36-3092907.
