2009 Year-End Charitable Gift Ideas

Make a year-end gift by December 31, 2009 to the Coalition and obtain a 2009 charitable deduction.

Gifts of Cash: Lower your 2009 income taxes merely by writing us a check and postmarking your envelope by December 31st, 2009.

Be sure to check to see if your company has a matching gift program.

Gifts of Stock: Contributing stock is often more tax-wise than cash. You will receive a tax deduction for its fair-market value on the date of the gift.

Matching gifts program: One of the smartest ways to give is through a matching gift program, where a company or individual will match donations to charitable organizations. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which doubles your charitable-donation power!
