Ways to Give

People struggle with homelessness all year round. Your monthly gift will enable the Coalition to have resources to respond to urgent needs as they occur, and will be automatically deducted from your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card on the date of your choice. 

The Coalition gratefully accepts gifts of publicly traded securities. It is easy to transfer securities directly from your brokerage account. Donating appreciated securities before they are sold typically provides helpful tax benefits:

• You can claim the current market value of your stock as a charitable deduction for tax purposes.
• You pay no capital gains tax on the stock's appreciated value.
• Stock gifts valued over $5,000 can qualify for the Homeless Contribution Tax Credit for 25% of the donation.

For Credit To: Colorado Coalition for the Homeless

Account Number: Z50-669288

DTC Number: 0226

Taxpayer Identification Number: 84-0951575

Important: A direct stock transfer from your brokerage account will not include your name or other personal information. Because of this, please email us at giving@coloradocoalition.org or call (303) 312-9673 to alert us of your stock gift so we can prepare a timely receipt for your donation.

If you are age 70½ or older, you may donate directly from your IRA using a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  This option allows you to donate from pre-tax dollars, which preserves your available cash on hand for other life purposes.  This option works best for people who claim the Standard Deduction.  Your gift amount can also help fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year.

Contact your IRA administrator to make a direct QCD transfer to the Coalition:

To properly receipt and acknowledge you for your donation, please make sure to contact our office with your intentions before the transfer. For more information on donating stock, mutual funds, bonds, or other securities please contact us at giftplanning@coloradocoalition.org.

Ask if your employer offers the option of giving through payroll deduction as part of a United Way, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #56182) or workplace giving program. Simply designate the Coalition to receive your gift and specify how much you would like to give. Your Human Resources department will have more information and can tell you if your gift will be matched.
