U.S. donors: GEM is a 501(c)(3) under U.S. tax code. Your donation may be eligible for tax exemption under U.S. law. Please consult your tax advisor.
Ways to give
Recurring donations are a win-win for you and for GEM. Automatic monthly donations enable you to give a comfortable amount each month, ensuring that your giving to GEM continues until you contact us to cancel it. Your regular support enables GEM to plan ahead, knowing we can count on our generous GEM Sustainers for reliable, monthly income. A recurring gift can be canceled immediately at any time.
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is an investment account that a donor sets aside to restrict those funds for charitable purposes. The donor is eligible for a tax deduction immediately, while they might direct the funds to be distributed to qualifying charities over a number of years. If you have a DAF and would like to direct a donation from it to GEM, contact us and we’ll walk you through the process.
Contact us to coordinate a gift from your DAF.
U.S. donors age 70 ½ or greater may make a tax-free contribution from their IRA directly to a U.S. charity such as GEM. Those age 73 or greater must take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA; when sent directly to a nonprofit, the donor does not pay income tax on the donated portion of the RMD.
To make a qualifying charitable distribution directly from your IRA or other retirement account to GEM, please contact us to assist with the process. We suggest consulting with your financial advisor to be sure of your eligibility and any tax implications.
If you’re considering investing in GEM’s mission with a leadership gift, we would love to meet with you to learn about your passions and desire for impact. Please contact us for a visit (virtual or in person) to share your story and see how GEM can help you bring your vision to reality.
Many companies will match their employees’ donations to nonprofits. If you’re donating to GEM, search for your company on Benevity, where you can directly donate to GEM and your donation will be automatically submitted for a match!
If your company doesn’t use Benevity, you can simply donate through our secure online donation form, let us know your company’s name, and we’ll contact them if they have a matching gift program.
