SOCIAL MEDIA FUNDRAISING: Giving through Facebook or Instagram has two major benefits for T.R.E.E. First, your friends learn about T.R.E.E. when they see you made a donation. Second, there are no transaction fees, 100% of your donation goes directly to T.R.E.E.

EMPLOYEE MATHCING GIFTS: Many companies match charitable gifts made by their employees. Contact your HR department to find out if your company matches and your gift could be doubled or tripled. You may also check this list of some local companies with matching gift programs.  

AMAZON & EBAY: On Amazon, Check out our wishlist of program supplies. We always need these. When you shop on eBay, they will donate to T.R.E.E. Thank YOU!

PLANNED GIVING: As you may be aware, a recent law permits donations to charitable causes directly from IRAs for “people of a certain age” – 70-1/2 to be exact.  If you plan to donate to T.R.E.E. and are over this age (or are approaching it), you may want to talk with your accountant to find out how your donation can not only benefit T.R.E.E., but also count against your Required Minimum Distributions from qualified accounts each year.

DONOR ADVISED FUNDS: A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-inclined individuals, families and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock and in some case, certain illiquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
