(2) Contact your HR Department about your company's matching gift policy
(3) Send the completed form to the Houston Area Urban League for verification
See if your employer will match your donation!
Did you know some companies will match a spouse’s donation even if that spouse is not a direct employee?
Did you know some companies will match each recurring gift you make, including payroll deductions as well?

Give by Stock Transfer
Giving More Via Stock Donations
Donating appreciated stock is one of the easiest ways to give more to the cause you care about!
Your stock donation is a great way to support our mission, provide an income tax deduction for the full market value and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value.
Donating stock helps reduce your future tax burden and can help you impact underserved urban communities at less cost.

Give by Donor Advises Funds
Become a Donor-Advisor
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities.
How It Works
Use the below widget to establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
- Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free)
- Recommend grants directly to the Houston Area Urban League
Advantages
Simplicity – The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
Flexibility – The timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision-making.
Tax-efficiency – Contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes and allowing you to support multiple charities from one block of stock.
Family legacy – A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy. No start-up costs – There is no cost to establish a donor-advised fund. However, there are often minimum initial charitable contributions to establish the DAF (typically $5,000 or more).** No transaction fees – Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to your qualified public charity of choice.**
Privacy if desired – Donors may choose to remain anonymous to the grant recipient.
