Additional Giving Opportunities

 

Annual Gift
Foster the Village relies 100% on support from the community to carry out its mission. You can join our Village with an annual contribution because it takes an extra special village to raise a child in foster care.

Matching Gifts
Many employers offer matching gifts programs to encourage their employees to support 501c3 charitable organizations.  You can double your impact in the community by giving this way.  Check with your employer’s human resources department to see if your company matches donations from employees or retirees.

Monthly Giving
Monthly giving is an easy, convenient and affordable way to support our most vulnerable children throughout the year. Monthly support provides FTV with dependable funding allowing us to focus on our services and less time future appeals Donors may find satisfaction in knowing that they are helping to maintain the “heart of the village” each and every day of the year.

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
This is a tax-saving way to support Foster the Village (FTV), if you are 70 ½ or older. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA to a qualified charitable organization, like FTV.

Gifts of Stock
Gifts of appreciated securities may provide significant tax benefits.  FTV maintains a brokerage account to make this an easy way to support our mission.

Donor Advised Funds
Foster the Village accepts gifts from Donor Advised Funds and you make the granting decisions.
