Ways to Give
Make a one-time gift
Give a one-time gift of any amount via credit card using the button above. You can also give in honor of a loved one to celebrate a birthday, graduation, holiday gift, or in memory of someone you loved who cared about this community. Give the gift of a stronger, more resilient community in your name or a loved one's!
Become a recurring donor
Many of our donors choose to give recurring gifts throughout the year rather than one-time donations. These gifts are the most valuable, as they allow us to plan ahead and count on your support to keep our neighbors housed all year long. You can give monthly, quarterly, or annually via credit card using the form above (make sure to select your chosen frequency at the top of the form), instruct your Donor Advised Fund to send recurring gifts, or if you'd prefer, you can mail or deliver donations via check to our Resource Center.
Have your gift matched by your employer
Many employers, including Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, Google, and more offer matches to charitable donations that employees make. Some (like Boeing) will even match your donations after you've retired! To multiply the impact of your gift, ask your employer if they offer gift matching or encourage them to begin the process if they don't already.
Give through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Donor Advised Funds are a tax-advantaged way to make gifts to charitable organizations. If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, you can instruct your DAF to make a gift to Queen Anne Helpline today by giving them our tax-ID/EIN: 91-1187354.
Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) allow individuals who are at least 70.5 years old to make a gift of up to $100,000 directly from their IRA account. These gifts are advantageous to donors because they don't add to your taxable income for the year and they can count towards your Required Minimum Distribution. To make a QCD gift, inform your IRA Custodian of the amount that you'd like to donate and give them Queen Anne Helpline's organizational information (including our tax-ID/EIN: 91-1187354).
Donate stocks & securities
We are happy to accept donations of publicly traded securities. Giving a gift of appreciated stock or other securities is an impactful and tax-advantaged way to make a difference! Some employers will even match the value of your stock gift, multiplying your impact even further. Please use the following information to proceed with your gift:
Vanguard DTC: 0062
Queen Anne Helpline's Account number: 16546731
Tax-ID/EIN: 91-1187354

Make an in-kind donation

Examples of food donations include shelf-stable, single-serve milk and protein items like tuna or peanut butter. Drop-off to our resource center on Monday (10am - 2pm) and Thursday (10am-6pm).
