Donating to Shanti

Shanti depends on donations for 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 79 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 Shanti Voices, our quarterly newsletter, featuring human-interest stories and information about how we are putting your gift to use.

Donate online today! Donate online through JustGive.org where you can designate your donation for a certain program or give a gift in someone’s name. This process uses a secure server with immediate authorization. Your credit card number is not stored or transferred to anyone except your lending institution.

Make a monthly, quarterly, or semiannual pledge.Through your lasting support we can make great strides in delivering services to men and women in need. To learn how to pledge your support please contact Development Director Padric McCaig.

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.
