​Queen Anne Helpline relies almost entirely on individual donations from neighbors to keep people in our community stably housed and amply resourced.

Thank you for helping us foster an inclusive and interdependent community in Queen Anne, Magnolia, and South Lake Union.
We're seeing more of our supporters like you choosing to donate in tax-advantaged ways each year, which include gifts through stock, Donor Advised Funds, Qualified Charitable Distributions, and planned giving. Details for each of these methods are below, but if you have questions that aren't answered here, please contact us at [email protected].

Become a recurring donor

Many of our donors choose to give recurring gifts throughout the year rather than one-time donations. These kinds of gifts are the most valuable, as they allow us to plan ahead and count on your support to keep your neighbors stably 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.

Give a one-time gift

Give a one-time gift of any amount via credit card using the form above. If you'd like, you can also give in honor of a loved one! Whether it's to celebrate a birthday, graduation, holiday gift, or in memory of someone you loved who cared about this community, you can give the gift of a stronger and more resilient community in their name.

employer gift matching

Many employers, including Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, Google, and more offer matches to charitable donations that their employees make. To multiply the impact of your gift, ask your employer if they offer gift matching or encourage them to begin that process if they don't already! Most employers that match do so after receiving a copy of your gift acknowledgement, which Queen Anne Helpline sends soon after all donations. 

Donor advised funds

Donor Advised Funds are a tax-advantaged way to make gifts to charitable organizations. Do you have a Donor Advised Fund? You can instruct your Fund to make a gift to Queen Anne Helpline today by giving them our tax-ID/EIN: 91-1187354.

Qualified charitable distRIBUTIONs (qcd)

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 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.

stock & securities

Queen Anne Helpline is 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:

planned giving - create a legacy!

Planned giving demonstrates your legacy as a change-maker in our community and makes an impact for decades to come. Giving a gift through your will, life insurance, or retirement plans ensure that you will continue a legacy of care and interdependence in this community, creating a path to belonging and stability for all of your neighbors in Queen Anne, Magnolia, and South Lake Union.

Gifts in your will or living trust allow you to make a donation to Queen Anne Helpline of either (1) a specific dollar amount, (2) a percentage of your total estate, or (3) the remaining value of your estate after all other bequests and expenses. This type of gift also serves as an advantage to your estate and other beneficiaries, as it reduces the taxable amount of your estate. There is no limit to the amount of your estate that can be gifted to charitable organizations.

Life insurance & retirement accounts can be advantageous methods of giving as well! You can name Queen Anne Helpline as a beneficiary on your life insurance, IRA, 403(B), 401(K), or other plans and policies as a simple but powerful way to further your legacy of inclusivity and care in our community.
