Donating FAQ's
WHAT DO MY DONATIONS SUPPORT?
Resources for foster families such as housing, classes, extracurricular, school uniforms, hygiene kits, bedding, beds, school supplies, housing repairs, Christmas gifts, diapers, and other emergency needs as they arise. Throughout the year, specific donation opportunities are available. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to get involved in our donation drives!
CAN I DONATE ITEMS?
Yes! Please call our office for needed items and more information on current programs that need funding. Our needs are constantly changing, so please contact us on our specific needs before collecting items for The James Project.
CAN I GIVE APPRECIATED ASSETS SUCH AS STOCKS?
Yes! There are several benefits to funding your gift to The James Project with publicly-traded stocks, bonds, or mutual funds:
∗ You can receive a charitable tax deduction for the full, fair-market value of the asset.
∗ You avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciated value of the asset.
∗ You keep the cash you might have otherwise given.
∗ None of the asset value is lost to taxes –The James Project receives the full value of the asset.
∗ The value of the asset may exceed the cash gift you were planning to make – thus enabling you to make an even larger gift.
For more detailed instructions on how give appreciated assets such as stocks, please call 217-546-3532 and ask to speak with or leave a message for Terri.
