There are eight ways you can make a significant
contribution to the Happy Trails Children’s
Foundation
-
One of the easiest ways is by making a gift
by cash, check or credit card. By using your
credit card, you may gain valuable points or
airline miles. Regular monthly, quarterly or
semi-annual gifts are sincerely
appreciated.
-
A major gift funded over a three to five
year installment or pledge payment period.
This allows larger pledges and tax
deductions for each year of giving.
-
A donation of appreciated stocks, bonds or
securities. The capital gains tax can be
eliminated with this type of gift.
-
Real estate that has been owned by the donor
for a year or more which has appreciated in
value can receive the same tax advantages as
securities when donated.
-
Personal property such as works of art,
stamps, coins, firearms, and other
collections. Antiques and jewelry are also
accepted.
-
Deferred gifts, bequests, charitable trusts
and wills are also accepted.
-
In-kind gifts of products or services can
also be made.
-
Many corporations offer “Matching Gifts” to
match employees’ gifts in greater or lesser
amounts. Please check with your employer.
Any of the above gift methods may be combined
for donors who wish to provide major gifts. We
are pleased to offer American Express, Discover,
MasterCard and VISA for your personal
convenience. If you would like to make a
donation via charge card, you may phone us
Monday thru Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. Pacific Time.
For more information about ways you can include
the Happy Trails Children’s Foundation in your
will, life insurance policy, or a planned gift

240-3330. Please contact your accountant,
attorney or tax professional for more
information about the tax advantages of
charitable giving. We are most grateful for your
support!
