On Dec. 2, Giving Tuesday kicks off the year-end season of giving. To join in on the generosity, Houston Community Foundation encourages community members to donate to local nonprofits.
A few tips for donors:
- Consider a recurring gift when giving online to support an agency throughout the year.
- To donate time or physical goods, contact agencies to find out what services or items are most needed, as well as how to coordinate your volunteer services or delivery of your donation.
- An unrestricted gift is the most effective way to give to a nonprofit. These flexible gifts allow agencies to use funds where they are most needed.
As an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, the Houston Community Foundation can help donors who wish to donate something beyond cash — like appreciated stock or IRA charitable distributions — to a nonprofit partner or charitable fund. Contact Ross Richardson, president, at rosslinda1981@gmail.com or call 817-403-7203.
