Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor or remember someone special. Consider making a tribute instead of buying a present for someone's next birthday or for the holidays. To make a tribute gift, simply include the following information with your contribution.
- Whether the gift is an honorary or memorial gift
- Name of the person you wish to recognize or remember
- Name and address of the person to whom you would like an acknowledgement letter mailed. (We will not include the amount of your gift in the acknowledgement.)
Matching Gifts
You can double or even triple your gift to Goodwill with a matching gift from your employer. To determine whether you are eligible, contact your personnel/human resources department. They will provide you with a simple form to complete and mail to Goodwill. We'll take care of the rest and notify you when your matching gift has been received. Please mail completed matching gift forms to Goodwill Industries, 1500 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. Attention: Corporate Match.
Bequests
You may choose to make a bequest gift through your will to Goodwill. Usually, a donor will set aside a certain dollar amount or certain percentage of the estate, or a certain asset left over after the family has been provided for. Bequests can be for general purposes or designated for a specific use. Your attorney will help you word your bequest so its intended purpose is clear.
Please consult your attorney and financial planner as to which vehicle best fits your financial circumstances as well as your tax and charitable objectives.
