Monthly Giving

Monthly giving is easy, effective and affordable, and can be done directly through our online donation form. Monthly donors provide dependable funding to ensure that we can keep our programs running now and in the future. Enroll online or contact John Darroch by email or (650) 931-6019.

Donor-Advised Fund Donations

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular charitable program which allows donors to make a contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. If you have a DAF, you can recommend grants directly to support CRC. Donors can recommend donations to CRC from many DAFs, including Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable and Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Click on the links above to be redirected to the DAF page to initiate your donation recommendation.

Planned Giving

Including a gift for CRC in your will, trust or other plans will ensure we are able to continue our mission of empowering frontline voices for many years to come. Contact Joel Valencia by email to learn more.

Corporate Matching

Double your impact! Many companies, including Apple, Google, and IBM, have a matching program for donations their employees make to charities. This is an easy way for you to amplify your gift. Just fill out your employer’s matching gift form and submit online or send to:

IRA Charitable Rollover Gifts (Qualified Charitable Distributions)

Legislation allowing tax-free IRA gifts from individuals age 70 1/2 years or older was made permanent in December 2015. Distributions of up to $100,000 per person per year must be made directly from your IRA to CRC and count toward your required minimum distribution.* Checks often arrive without identification, so please email John Darroch, or call (650) 931-6019 and indicate your name, the name of your IRA administrator and the amount of your distribution.
