Stock

You or your company can donate stock, stock options and other investments to the Berkeley-Albany YMCA in one simple transaction. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. You benefit by avoiding capital gains taxes and reducing income taxes, and the Berkeley-Albany YMCA gains by receiving property that is easy to sell and will generate funds to support health, wellness & educational programs here at the Y.  For more information, contact Kevin Kosik, Chief Development Officer, at (510) 486-8406 or kkosik@baymca.org

 

Matching Gifts

Many Bay Area employers offer a matching gift program, which can double and even triple your gift. These programs not only match gifts given by employees, but often match gifts given by directors, spouses, and retired employees as well. To participate in your company’s matching gift program, visit your human resources office to retrieve a matching gift form. Complete it, and send it along with your gift to the Berkeley-Albany YMCA. We will notify your company of your contribution, and you can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’ve doubled your giving power without breaking a sweat!

United Way & Workplace Campaigns

You can make a donation to the Berkeley-Albany YMCA through the United Way or similar workplace giving programs. Federal and state employees also have workplace campaigns, so check with your employer.
