• Other Ways to Give

• Matching Gifts, Volunteer Grants, Payroll Deductions

  Your generosity can have double or triple the impact. Many companies match employee contributions to charitable organizations, and some even match gifts made by retirees, spouses, and/or board members. Some companies also provide volunteer grants in recognition of an employee’s volunteer work. To find out if you work for a matching gift company, search our corporate matching gift database and inquire with your employer about volunteer grants. Payroll deductions are another easy way to show your support of AGBU and can be set up through your employer.

• Endowment Fund

  A minimum gift of $10,000 establishes a permanent fund in the name of the donor or in memory/honor of a loved one. Donors may designate their gift towards a specific program, which will benefit from the yearly income, in perpetuity. To set-up an endowment, please contact AGBU at 212-319-6383.
