WAYS TO GIVE
There are so many ways to support Cast directly, such as donating items to survivors or gifts of stock.
Donate
As the nation’s largest provider of services to survivors of human trafficking, we’re working to create a future where trafficking cannot thrive. To make sure we can be there for survivors – and to create long lasting change – we need you. Your gift will fuel every part of our work, so that every survivor has access to justice and care.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor advised funds (DAFs) provide donors with the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact, or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.
Stock
A gift of stock is a donation of stock or bond holdings to a charitable organization. A gift of stock that has appreciated in value creates a two-fold tax advantage for the donor: it provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously supporting Cast. Donors who contribute stock do not pay capital gains taxes on the increase in the value of the stock, and the full market value of the stock as of the donation date can generally be deducted as a charitable contribution. (Certain limitations apply; please consult your professional tax advisor for tax and estate planning guidance regarding charitable gifts.)
To make a stock donation to Cast, contact Melissa Fuentes at 213.364.6387 or mfuentes@castla.org.
Employee Match
Employee Matching gift programs are a quick and easy way to double the impact of your gift to Cast. Many companies will match charitable contributions &/or volunteer hours made by their employees; some will even match gifts from retirees or spouses.
