Giving Options
Donations of Stock or other Accrued Assets
The
donation of stocks or accrued assets may provide the donor
with additional tax advantages. Through a generous probono
arrangement with Friedman Billings Ramsey Group, Inc., HDSF
is capable of receiving these donations at no cost to us.
For more information on how to handle this donation, please
speak with your financial advisor and call Doug
Knight at 202-414-4840.
Unrestricted
Contributions
Unrestricted
support from foundations, corporations and individuals is
a primary and crucial source of revenue for HDSF, allowing
us to direct the funding to the areas of greatest need
within our scholarship system and program budgets.
Contributions of $1,000 or more qualify the donor
as an HDSF “Top Sponsor” and provide a certain number
of benefits to the donor.
Restricted
Support of Specific Programs
Foundations,
corporations and individuals may select a specific HDSF
program to support based on funding priorities or
interests. Donations
can be directed to support any or all of our three
yearlong programs (College-Prep Mentoring, Internship and Princeton
Review S.A.T. Prep).
Additionally, donations can be directed to support
only our scholarship awards.
Lastly, donations can be directed to help HDSF
handle overhead and related expenses.
If requested, HDSF will work with sponsors to
provide appropriate recognition for their contribution in
line with our Sponsor Benefits package.
Direct
Support of HDSF Events
HDSF
holds a number of annual events that benefit our students
and help us achieve our unique mission of building bridges
among members of the Washington, DC community.
While incredibly rewarding and entertaining for all
those who attend, these events do incur a significant
expense to HDSF. In
exchange for special or added recognition, donations can
be made to directly underwrite HDSF events, thus allowing
us to better spend our budget funds on our scholarship
recipients and our yearlong programs.
Tributes (Honorary or Memorial
Gifts)
Tributes
are a wonderful way to sustain the memory of a loved one
or mark an important occasion or distinction in a person's
life. Donations
in honor or in memory of a friend or family member are
acknowledged in specific accord with the donor's wishes - HDSF will send an appropriate letter to the individual
or family of the individual specified in the tribute.
Bequests
and Special Gifts
HDSF
welcomes bequests and special gifts as another means of
ensuring that our mission and programs will continue into
the future. As
a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, HDSF can be
named as a full or partial beneficiary in a will, life
insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity or trust fund.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss this giving
option and can provide copies of our tax-exempt
certification documents and audited financial statements
in order to facilitate a donation.
Matching
Gifts
If
you are employed by, retired from, or a board member of a
business or organization with a matching gift program, you
may be able to double your donation to HDSF. Please forward the appropriate paperwork to HDSF so that we
may follow up on your behalf.
In-Kind
Contributions
HDSF
welcomes the donation of products and services from
foundations, corporations and individuals.
Such gifts offset various costs and often help us
conduct our business more effectively.
HDSF can provide documentation for in-kind
contributions to ensure that the donor receives
appropriate tax benefits.
Volunteers
Volunteers are
an incredibly precious resource and are vital to the
ongoing success of HDSF programs and events! Give
your time and energy at any of our events or by helping us
with projects at our office. There are many
opportunities to donate your time - simply call Rachel
Cleaver at (202) 289-6478 to discuss options.

place of employment conducts an annual charitable gift
