What To Give
Make a lasting difference in a child’s life by supporting a cause you care about.
Maximize the impact of your assets with our smart, tax-wise giving options.
Discover how giving can benefit both you and the children we serve through valuable tax advantages.
Gifts of Stocks & Bonds
Donating appreciated securities is a smart and simple way to support Fresh Start. You may avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction, making your impact go even further.
Gifts of Real Estate
Whether it’s a home, vacation property, commercial space or land, donating real estate allows you to make a significant contribution while potentially eliminating capital gains tax and earning a tax deduction.
Gifts of Retirement Assets
Support our mission by naming Fresh Start as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension plan. These tax-deferred assets can leave a powerful legacy while helping reduce estate taxes.
Gifts of Cash
A direct cash donation is the most immediate way to help. You’ll receive a charitable tax deduction and know that your gift is going directly to transforming the lives of children in need.
Gifts of Life Insurance
If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need, consider making Fresh Start the beneficiary. It’s an impactful way to support our mission and may offer tax benefits to your estate.
This is a personal financial decision, and we respect your privacy — we won’t reach out unless you ask us to. But if you’d like to connect, we’d truly love to hear from you.
