Donating to Shanti

Shanti depends on public donations to continue our work. Donations from people like you make up nearly 25% of our budget, with grants, reimbursement contracts, service fees, and special events making up the remainder. Shanti is dedicated to minimizing its administrative expenses, and at least 85 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to services.
 
GIFTS OF CASH
The simplest and most frequently used method of providing support to Shanti is through a tax-deductible cash gift or pledge—whether currency, personal check, credit card authorization, money order or bank draft. All donors to Shanti receive our newsletter, Shanti Voices, which features human-interest stories and information about how we are putting your gift to use.

Donate online today! Making a donation through our secure server is fast and easy, and when we receive your donation, we will send you an acknowledgement in the mail for tax purposes.

Using a 3rd party helps us keep our costs low and allows us to spend more time and money on our programs!

PLANNED GIVING
One way to ensure continued support of Shanti is by making a deferred or planned gift. Planned gifts enable donors to meet both their personal financial objectives and their charitable giving goals at the same time. Planned gifts may be made with cash, stocks, and/or real or personal property and may involve tax benefits and life income alternatives.

SECURITIES
Shanti appreciates your gift of stocks. Please instruct your broker, by letter, to transfer securities to Shanti's brokerage account at Pershing, account #157-140229, DTC Code 0443 for the benefit of Shanti Project, Inc. Please submit a copy of the letter to Shanti.

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies have matching gift programs through which they match charitable contributions by their employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to Shanti. Ask your employer if you have such a program where you work.

UNITED WAY DONATIONS
You can make a contribution to Shanti at your workplace through the United Way. Simply write in Shanti on the form from the United Way and your donation will be deducted from your paycheck.
