SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Ways to Give
There are more ways to support Transitions than you might think. Whether you're making your first gift or planning a legacy, here's how to put your generosity to work.
Donate Now
The fastest way to make an impact. A one-time or recurring gift goes directly toward the meals, case managers, and services that move people from homelessness to a permanent home.
For just $44, you can give one person 24 hours of comprehensive care. Double or triple that and give even more people the chance to turn their life around.
Give Monthly
Recurring donors are the backbone of what we do. A monthly gift — at any amount — provides the reliable funding that lets us plan, hire, and serve without interruption. Set it once and make a difference every single month.
Gifts of Stock
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. You avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value. It's a smart way to maximize the impact of your gift.
To initiate a stock transfer, contact us directly and we'll walk you through the process.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you're 70½ or older, you can make a charitable gift directly from your IRA — up to $105,000 per year — and it counts toward your required minimum distribution without being added to your taxable income. For donors with retirement savings they don't need to live on, a QCD is one of the most powerful giving tools available.
Talk to your financial advisor to see if a QCD is right for your situation, then reach out to us to coordinate the gift.
Planned Giving & Estate Gifts
One of the most meaningful ways to support Transitions is through a gift in your will or estate plan. A bequest — whether a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a residual gift — ensures that your values live on and that the work of ending homelessness in the Midlands continues long into the future.
Other planned giving options include naming Transitions as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy or retirement account. These gifts cost nothing during your lifetime and can make an extraordinary difference.
Donate Your Car
Have a vehicle you no longer need? Donating it to Transitions is a simple way to turn an unused asset into real impact.
Rather than going through a third-party service, we prefer to work with donors directly to make sure your gift goes as far as possible. Reach out and we'll work out the details together.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees — some dollar for dollar, some at even higher rates. Check with your HR department or use the tool below to see if your company participates. It's one of the easiest ways to double the impact of your gift.
