Matching Gifts

You can double your donation if you work for one of the many companies that match donations made by employees, their spouses and retirees. Please check with your human resources office for information on matching grants.

Foundation and Corporate Support

Foundation and corporate support is welcomed through financial contributions for general operating purposes as well as in-kind donations for specific programs, including computer and information systems, food and commodities, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, construction materials and equipment.

Bequests and Planned Gifts

For donors wishing to designate IRD in their wills, bequests can also help reduce estate taxes for their survivors. IRD also is delighted to receive charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and the transfer of appreciated securities, real estate, or life insurance policies that allow donors to support IRD while providing an opportunity for tax savings.
