Donate Stock, DAF, Crypto

Making a stock donation to support HopeWest enables us to continue our commitment to those in our communities facing aging, serious illness, and grief.

Each gift helps us provide excellent hospice care, palliative care, youth and adult grief counseling, and community-wide support to those needing it most.

Support HopeWest by making a charitable gift in stock. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks.

Donating stock is safe and easy. Using the widget on this page, making a charitable gift of stock is a quick, five-step process:

Upon making a donation, you will receive an email notification that your gift is being processed. In some circumstances, you may need to take action with your broker. The email will have instructions on any next steps.

Charitable donations of stock are processed safely and typically within 6-8 business days with The Giving Block in partnership with Renaissance Charitable Foundation. Processing times can be longer during December.

Stock fundraising is a  critical donation revenue driver for nonprofit organizations like HopeWest.

With over 60% of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to US charities every year, stock donations can make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Studies show that nonprofits that accept noncash assets typically grow 50% faster than those that do not and they grow 66% faster when they accept non cash securities such as stock.

Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them. We are excited about what the future holds in the crypto and blockchain space, and believe that we’ve just scratched the surface of its true fundraising potential.

We currently accept publicly traded, domestic common stock.

We are continually in the process of adding support for new assets to donate, so please check back soon for more giving options.

Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.

As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.

Thank you for your interest in supporting HopeWest. To contact us about making a stock donation, please email Katie Squier at KSquier@HopeWestCO.org with the subject line, “Stock Donation.”

A Donor-Advised Fund of DAF is like a savings account whose sole purpose is charitable giving. An individual, family, or group contributes to their DAF which is managed by an organization, like a foundation or a financial institution. A donor gets an immediate tax break when they contribute funds to their DAF, and then they can later suggest what nonprofit or charitable organization they want their funds to be granted to, like HopeWest.

There is a greater potential for nonprofits to receive a larger or more intentional gift. They are a great way for nonprofits to maximize their fundraising from donors who are looking for a more simplified way of giving.

We have partnered with The Giving Block and Chariot to provide donors with an easy way to donate DAFs.

As a donor, enter your personal information, select your DAF provider, and sign in with your credentials. Once signed in, you can easily specify your desired gift amount.

Chariot is the safe and simple integration that allows HopeWest to accept DAF donations directly from our website.

Thank you for your interest in donating a Donor Advised Fund to HopeWest. For more information, of if you have questions please email Katie Squier at KSquier@HopeWestCO.org.
