Ways to Give

Your donation to Genesee Valley allows us to grow our reach and expands the opportunity to provide quality learning experiences that promote growth and nourish the development of individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Ways to Give

Setting up monthly giving allows you to provide ongoing support to GVOLC in a manner that aligns with your personal budget. Monthly giving is set up as a reoccurring gift and you will receive notice of the payment from your financial institution. Your annual gift receipt will provide you with a total donation amount for the calendar year.

Monthly

Pledges

Pledges allow you to demonstrate a longer term commitment to GVOLC and provide an opportunity for an expanded partnership with our mission.  Multi-year pledges can be set up through monthly donations or annual gifts. 

Matching Gifts

Many employers will offer to match your gift or pledge, and you will receive the credit for the contribution. Check with your company’s Human Resources Department for more information on matching gifts.

Appreciated Stock

Appreciated Stock can provide an attractive means of giving. By gifting the stock to GVOLC, you will be making a charitable contribution and avoid paying capital gains tax, thereby increasing the value of your gift.

Life Insurance

GVOLC may be named as the beneficiary or owner of an insurance policy. The latter

method may provide attractive income tax benefits.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $105,000 annually to GVOLC directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.

Retirement Accounts

You may name GVOLC as the beneficiary of your retirement accounts. When an individual inherits a non-Roth IRA, the distribution is taxable income. A charity can receive the IRA income tax-free.

GVOLC recognizes all donations, regardless of amount as a contribution to our mission. All donors receive a receipt for their donations and are recognized in our Annual Report.
