Other Methods of Giving

Creative ways to support our mission

There are many ways to support the Downtown Jewish Center Chabad beyond traditional donations. Consider these options that may provide additional tax benefits.

Real Estate Donation

You may have real estate that has depreciated in value. You can get the full appraised value for that real estate even if you couldn't sell it for that amount.

Appreciated Stock

Donating appreciated stock directly to Downtown Jewish Center helps you avoid capital gains tax while getting a donation credit at 100% of the stock value.

Foundations

If you or your family have a charitable foundation or distribution trust fund, please include and encourage an annual allocation with Downtown Jewish Center.

Matching Grants

If your employer offers matching grants or United Way contributions, Downtown Jewish Center qualifies because of our social services and programs.

Auto Donation

Donating your old vehicle can bring you greater value on your tax return than selling it on the open market.

Questions about giving?

If you would like to speak to Rabbi Schneur Kaplan about a special gift or any form of donation, please contact him personally.
