Can I designate my gift?
Undesignated gifts give The Store the greatest flexibility to respond where the need is most urgent and make the strongest possible impact for our neighbors. We are also glad to discuss gifts intended for a particular purpose, program, or area of impact. Please contact Brittney Brown before making your gift so we can talk through your goals and confirm the best way to direct it.
Can you provide tax advice?
The Store can provide the organizational information and documentation needed to complete your gift, but we cannot offer legal, financial, or tax advice. Please consult your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional to determine which giving option is right for you.
