Monthly Giving - The Golden Giving Circle

Making a recurring monthly donation helps all year long! Any gifts of $25 or more per month automatically include you in our community of monthly supporters, The Golden Giving Circle. You'll receive special event invitations and updates on how your generosity impacts our mission.

IRAs

If you’re over 70½, you can donate up to $105,000 annually from a traditional IRA tax-free! Your donation counts toward your required minimum distribution while giving hope to neighbors in need.

Stock Donations

Donating appreciated stock can increase your gift’s impact by up to 20% more than selling and donating cash. By donating stock directly to Golden Pantry & Thrift, you avoid capital gains tax while still deducting the full fair-market value. For more details on stock donations, please contact Britni LeRoux at britni@goldenpantry.org.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund is a personal charitable investment account that allows you to contribute, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nonprofits like Golden Pantry & Thrift.

Please consult with your financial planner or tax advisor to determine the best options for you.

Honorary & Memorial Gifts
