Donation Options

Individual Donations
— Online or by Check

• Click on any “Donate” button and you will be linked directly through HPCC’s online donation form. Receipts for online donations are sent automatically.

• Send a check made payable to Healing Partners of the Central Coast.
  Please mail it to P.O. Box 2055, Carmel Valley, CA 93924. A receipt for your donation will be mailed back to you.

• Should you be interested, individual donations can be signified as a memorial or honorarium. The honored individual will be listed on our website on the “Tributes” page.

Sponsorships

• Local businesses and corporations have the opportunity to support our work through Corporate Sponsorships. There are four tiers of giving options available to businesses: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

• Each sponsor receives recognition on our website and in our community communications programs based on their tier of choice.

Pledges — Monthly or Sustaining

• Dedicated supporters have the option to set up regular donations. These can be monthly pledges or sustaining pledges.

• Donors can set up automatic payment of monthly donations through our online donation form. Follow the online form instructions to set up a monthly donation.

• Sustaining pledges are an amount donated every year over a multi-year commitment (e.g. $1,000 each year for three years).

In-Kind Gifts

• HPCC accepts in-kind donations of goods, services, time, and expertise. In-kind donors will receive a receipt noting the value of the donation.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

• Any donor, regardless of age,  can set up a DAF to channel future contributions to qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. The tax advantage comes to the donor when the fund is established; not when future donations to non-profits are made.

• To arrange for donations in this way, the donor provides the DAF with the name and EIN of the preferred charity. The DAF sponsor (eg. Fidelity/Schwab/CFMP) then vets the charity and sends the actual donation,  confirming the transaction with the donor.

Retirement Distributions (QCD)

• Donors 72 or older can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from their IRA directly to HPCC. It is a great way for donors to get a tax advantage on Required Minimum Distributions (RMD). Donors can simply instruct their IRA administrator to make the distribution directly to HPCC.

• There are many benefits to those who donate using a QCD: 
     - Allows the donor to make a pre-tax gift to the donor’s favorite charity
     - Fulfills the donor’s minimum required distribution (RMD) from an IRA 
     - Reduces the donor’s gross taxable income

• Talk with your financial adviser or accountant to help you set up a QCD.

Other Opportunities to Give

• Additional charitable contributions are bequests and beneficiary designations from life insurance and retirement funds.
