• Donate through your Donor Advised Fund: Many people have chosen to establish donor-advised funds to direct charitable giving in a way that is more tax beneficial. You may choose to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact.

• Workplace Giving & Employer Matching gifts: are both viable strategies that allow employees/retirees and/or employees’ spouses to contribute in a way that maximises impact by increasing the giving capacity of individuals. 

  Barakat’s EIN (Employer Identification Number) is 04-3493675.

  Workplace Giving programs allow you to make tax deductible gifts through weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly payroll deductions.

  Many companies encourage charitable giving among their employees through matching gift programs. Contact your company’s Human Resources office to learn more about matching contributions to PHR.

  Harness the power of the collective and double or triple your impact by bringing in like-minded companies and employers. 

• Gifts of Securities: A great benefit of donating stock is that you receive charitable donation credit for tax purposes for the full face value of the stock. This is especially valuable if the stock has appreciated significantly since you purchased it. Donating stock also allows you to avoid capital gains tax.
