Planned Giving
Your planned gift can help Advocates to meet the needs of generations to come. Contact us to learn more about the ways that a planned or deferred gift can build a bridge to our future and ensure that Advocates will remain strong for the growing number of children and adults with disabilities who will need our support in the future.
Tribute Gifts
A tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor or remember someone. You can make a tribute gift in memory of someone who has passed on, or in honor of someone you would like to recognize with a meaningful gift to help Advocates fulfill our mission for years to come. You can also make a tribute gift for a special occasion, like a birthday, graduation, anniversary or wedding.
Workplace Giving Campaign
Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations to Advocates. Donations are taken directly out of your paycheck. Designate Advocates for your next workplace giving campaign! Wills, Bequests, Retirement Plans and Life Insurance: these are the most popular types of planned gift programs. Check with your company’s Human Resources Department.
United Way
United Way provides a valuable philanthropic service to hundreds of health and human service organizations. Through their donor designation program, they collect, process and transfer donations on behalf of hundreds of Central New York nonprofit organizations. Please designate Advocates, Inc. when making your gift to the United Way.
Matching Gifts
Matching gifts are a type of corporate giving program that essentially doubles an employee’s initial donation to an eligible nonprofit organization. This is a great way to make an impactful contribution to Advocates. To find out if your company will match gifts, please check with your HR Department.
Bequests
An excellent way for you to support Advocates’ mission is to leave a bequest in your will, living trust or with a codicil. One significant benefit of making a gift by bequest is that it allows you to continue to use the property you will leave to charity during your life. Another benefit is that you are able to leave a lasting legacy. There are a number of ways you can make a bequest to our agency through a Specific Bequest, Percentage Bequest, Residual Bequest, or a Contingent Bequest. Please consult with your financial advisor.
