"Dear Crossroads,
I am sending you the amount of my 'economic stimulus.' You can use it more than any capitalist enterprise can. As a woman who was once battered and who once worked at a shelter, I know how important your work is to women's survival. Thank you for your efforts. This is for you and for all the brave women who are escaping violence."

(A $600 check and letter were dated May 27, 2008 from a Fort Collins woman.)

MATCHING GIFTS

If you work for a company that offers a matching gifts program, the value of your gift may be doubled or even tripled. This means increased monetary support for Crossroads and larger gift credit for you. Check with your human resources staff to see if your company will match your charitable contributions. They will provide you with a matching gift form to fill out and send to Crossroads. We will handle the process from there.

PLANNED GIFTS

Some of our supporters wish to hold on to their money and other assets for now to ensure they meet their family's future financial needs. These individuals may take advantage of alternative giving options known as "planned" gifts. Planned gifts can be revocable - a charitable bequest in your will, for example - so that you can change your mind at any time. Or, they can be irrevocable, just as outright gifts are, so you can benefit from immediate income tax deduction. For more examples, please refer to our gift planning strategies summary or consult your attorney or financial advisor.

GIFTS OF STOCK

Charitable gifts of stock, bonds, mutual funds, and other appropriate assets provide an opportunity for personal tax savings while supporting Crossroads. For example, a gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation in value. Check with your financial services provider to discuss your options.
