Ways to Give

Making a charitable gift to the Opening Doors Under One Roof Campaign is an important and personal decision. The satisfaction of giving comes in knowing that you are investing in helping Opening Doors to fulfill its mission of empowering women and their children by providing shelter and personalized support to find healing, hope and home.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE VARIOUS WAYS YOU CAN INVEST IN TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN:

CASH

Cash gifts provide an opportunity to make an immediate impact for Opening Doors, Dubuque and the Tri-State area.

 

PLEDGE

Pledges can be made over five years to strengthen and sustain Opening Doors Under One Roof.

 

DONOR-ADVISED FUND

A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity to manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families or individuals.

 

MATCHING GIFT

If your employer, or your partner’s employer, offers a program that matches all or a part of qualifying gifts, you can double or even triple the value of your impact. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your employer matches gifts.

 

PLANNED GIVING IN YOUR WILL

Honor your passion for helping others while making a transformational gift that provides a lasting legacy for unhoused women and their children. A charitable planned gift ensures your family’s financial security and distributes your assets
according to your wishes. Some options may include a will bequest, life insurance and a charitable remainder trust.

IRA ROLLOVER

Giving through your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can offer significant benefits both to you and to Opening Doors. An IRA rollover is a simple and tax-efficient way to make a charitable contribution directly from your IRA. This method allows you to support our mission while potentially reducing your taxable income.

 

SECURITIES

Appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual funds yield additional tax savings, allowing you to deduct the securities’ current market value and eliminate capital gains tax.

 

CRYPTOCURRENCY

The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, and cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities receive the same tax
treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the
appreciated amount.

 

GRAIN/LIVESTOCK /LAND

Gifts of land, corn, soybeans, cattle or hogs are viable options for those involved in agriculture and can provide significant tax benefits.
