There are many ways that you can give and make a difference for kids, families, and seniors in our community!
In-Kind Gifts (Goods/Services)
Another way to support CAPTAIN CHS is through gifts of goods or services, such as food, hygiene products, crafts, home essentials, gently used clothing, pool services, landscape management, etc. Please check our Wish List for our most current needs.
Employer Matching Gifts
DOUBLE YOUR GIFT! You may be able to multiply the value of your gift by participating in a matching gift program provided through an employer such as General Electric or IBM. Contact your personnel to see if they match! Gifts from retirees and spouses may also qualify for a match.
Stocks & Securities
Did you know you can gift stocks and securities directly to CAPTAIN CHS? These include a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the gift and avoidance of capital gains taxes. For information, please contact Ava at 518-399-4624 or ava@captaincares.org.
Real Estate Gifts
Gifts of homes, farms, and other real property can receive the same tax treatment as gifts of appreciated securities. If property has appreciated over time, its sale may result in a substantial amount of capital gains taxes. If debt-free property is donated, the donor receives a deduction for the appraised value. We encourage real estate gifts that are not subject to liens or restrictions that may affect their market value. For information, please contact Ava at 518-399-4624.
Sponsor an Event
CAPTAIN CHS hosts An Unbridled Affair Gala every July, and the Route 50 Mile road race every June. Sponsorships are available. Visit the respective pages under "News/Events" for more information, or call Jaime at 518-399-4624.
Deductibility
CAPTAIN CHSÂ is a qualified charitable organization and meets the standards and requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) (3). All contributions are deductible for federal income tax purposes (subject to statutory limitations) and for federal estate and gift tax purposes.
