Help SAVE

 

SAVE depends on donations and volunteering from individuals, organizations, and businesses to keep our vital services available to the women, men, and children in an abusive relationship, and to provide even more services to meet the demands of our communities.

We invite you to support our mission by giving to SAVE.

SAVE is a non-profit 501[c] 3 organization, Federal Tax ID #94-2520559. Your donations are tax-deductible, and we provide a receipt for all donations.

Checks - Mail checks made out to "SAVE" directly to our office.

Credit Cards - Donate online or call us at 510-574-2250.

Monthly SAVE-ings Program - Join SAVE’s Monthly SAVE-ings Program by making recurring donations each month. We can bill your credit card automatically each month or, if you prefer, you can initiate a monthly check to be issued to SAVE. These continuous funds allow you to spread out your contribution into a manageable sum each month. Please call 510-574-2250 or email info@save-dv.org to establish this program for you. Or, donate online and check the box for “Make my selection a recurring payment.”

Employee Giving Campaign – If you work for a company that offers an employee giving campaign or participates in a United Way campaign, we encourage you to select SAVE as the designated agency. If SAVE is not included in your company’s giving campaign, please ask your HR representative to include SAVE.

Corporate Matching Gifts – Many employers have a matching gifts program in which they will match employees’ donations to charitable organizations such as SAVE. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which then doubles your donation. Some companies will also make a donation when you volunteer your time. Check with your Human Relations department to see if your company offers either of these programs.

Fundraise Online – Share your passion and commitment to SAVE with your friends and family. It’s quick and easy for you to be a SAVE fundraiser with Firstgiving.com. All you do is setup a fundraising page on Firstgiving.com and ask your own social network (friends, family, co-workers, etc.) to donate to SAVE through your Firstgiving page. Donations are secure and automatically paid directly to SAVE. Learn more about setting up your own fundraising page on firstgiving.com.

B-charitable - Everyone has a checking account but what about a checking account that rewards SAVE when you open the account, and then each year thereafter? Fremont Bank’s B-Charitable program makes it easy and monetarily effortless for you to contribute to SAVE, simply by having an active checking account. For more information on how you can support SAVE through the B-Charitable program visit www.fremontbank.com/bcharitable.

iGive.com - Start your online shopping at www.iGive.com, a shopping portal that links you to hundreds of online stores. Each of these stores has agreed to donate a small percentage of your purchase to the charity of your choice. It’s easy to shop for SAVE.

  1. Register at www.iGive.com and select Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments as your cause
  2. Every time you shop online, start at igive.com.  You must go to the online store from the iGive website in order for you to donate to SAVE.

eScrip - The eScrip program is a fundraising program that allows participating merchants to contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards (i.e. Safeway), credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to the organization of your choice. A percentage of all purchases made with eScrip merchants will be given back to SAVE. It's that simple! Learn more about the program by visiting the eScrip website.

Vehicle Donation – Turn your extra car, truck, or RV into a tax deductible donation benefitting SAVE. V-Dac (Vehicle Donation to Any Charity) will pick-up your vehicle at no cost to you or to SAVE. To start the process, call 1-877-999-8322 or visit the V-Dac website.

Stocks & Bonds - Contributing appreciated stocks and bonds to a non-profit organization can provide you with a substantial tax deduction. Discuss such a gift with your broker or tax advisor, then contact SAVE for the details

Name SAVE in your Will - Specify an amount or percentage that you wish to leave directly to SAVE. You may specify how you would like the gift used, or may let the Board of Directors decide. Always consult your attorney for proper legal advice.

Name SAVE in your Life Insurance - Name SAVE as one of your beneficiaries, and designate the specific amount you wish to donate.
