Other Ways to Give

The donate button is the fast path — but larger and tax-smarter vehicles often do more for you and for the charities we keep online. All of these are welcome. The identity details every form asks for:

Legal name:
Free For Charity
EIN (tax ID):
46-2471893 — 501(c)(3) public charity
Mailing address:
4030 Wake Forrest Road, Suite 349, Raleigh, NC

Donor-advised funds (DAF)

Recommend a grant to Free For Charity from Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or any DAF sponsor — search by our EIN above. DAF grants are among the most efficient ways to fund the endowment.

Before initiating: confirm the exact grant designation and delivery details with Clarke Moyer — clarkemoyer@freeforcharity.org or (520) 222-8104. We reply quickly — large gifts get same-day attention.

Appreciated stock & securities

Donating appreciated shares held over a year typically avoids capital-gains tax and deducts the full market value — often 20%+ more impact than selling and giving cash. We accept securities gifts; transfers are arranged individually.

Before initiating: confirm the exact brokerage transfer instructions (account and DTC details) with Clarke Moyer — clarkemoyer@freeforcharity.org or (520) 222-8104. We reply quickly — large gifts get same-day attention.

Bequests & planned gifts

A sentence in your will can fund charities’ digital presence permanently through the endowment. Your attorney will want our exact legal name and EIN (above). We’re glad to discuss designation language and how your gift will be recognized.

Before initiating: confirm the exact designation language for your estate documents with Clarke Moyer — clarkemoyer@freeforcharity.org or (520) 222-8104. We reply quickly — large gifts get same-day attention.

IRA qualified charitable distributions (QCD)

If you’re 70½ or older, a QCD from your IRA counts toward required minimum distributions without increasing taxable income. Your IRA custodian sends the check directly to the charity.

Before initiating: confirm the exact payee and mailing details for your custodian with Clarke Moyer — clarkemoyer@freeforcharity.org or (520) 222-8104. We reply quickly — large gifts get same-day attention.

Employer matching & volunteer grants

Free money you may already have: most large employers match donations and many pay grants for volunteer hours. Everything you need is on the matching gifts page.

Not tax advice — consult your advisor for your situation. For what your gift accomplishes per dollar, see the unit economics: $16.50 keeps one charity’s entire digital presence alive for a year.
