2023 Giving Guide: Joyful Ways to Support NYF
There are so many ways to support NYF’s mission this holiday season—so we put together a brief giving guide to make the most out of your generosity!
1. Give a gift of impact! Send a Holiday eCard.
‘Tis the season to give a gift of impact! Our holiday eCards allow you to share the joy of giving with your loved ones this holiday season by making a donation to NYF in their name.
You can choose between four festive NYF-themed eCard designs and include a personal note. Your loved one will receive this special holiday eCard notifying them of this remarkable gift. Each card corresponds to a different program, so you can choose the cause most meaningful to your loved one.
2. Increase your impact through your workplace!
Make your donation go even further. Many companies provide matching gifts to organizations like NYF when their employees make a gift.
Here are just a few examples of companies NYF is currently receiving matching gifts from:
- Microsoft
- Apple
- AT&T
- S&P Global
- Goldman Sachs
3. Engage with NYF’s social media. Follow us, and like and/or share our posts!
We love sharing quick updates about the impact of your generosity on our social media pages. If you’re looking for an easy but incredibly impactful way to support NYF’s work, engaging with our content online is the way to go!
Follows, likes, shares, and comments can boost our work, put our posts in front of new audiences, and build social proof. Our small but mighty fundraising team sees and appreciates each “like” we receive!
4. Federal employees can give through the Combined Federal Campaign.
If you are a federal employee looking for an easy way to support NYF, consider giving through the Combined Federal Campaign!
NYF is a CFC approved charity (#84267), and pledges come directly out of your payroll. Sign up to support NYF through the CFC campaign by January 15, 2024!
5. Introduce NYF to a friend (or two)!
The most effective way to keep building our NYF Community is through you. By having devoted supporters like yourself talk about our work to friends, family, and colleagues, NYF can easily build social proof: An essential way to grow our supporter base. This holiday season, you can make a tremendous impact just by talking about NYF’s work and sharing why you support us!
(If you know someone who would be interested in supporting communities in Nepal and/or exploring corporate partnerships with NYF, let us know! We’re always looking to partner with people and businesses who share our values and mission.)
6. Have appreciated assets? Save on capital gains tax by donating them rather than cash.
Gifts of stock and securities:
Donating stocks and securities that have appreciated in value can be an especially advantageous donation.
- You can bypass the capital gains tax on the amount of the appreciation.
- You can obtain an income tax deduction for the full appreciated value of the securities.
We would receive the securities’ full value. In this way, the cost to you is substantially less than the amount donated to NYF. (Deductions are subject to certain limitations.)
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
If you’re over 70.5 with an Individual Retirement Account, nonprofit donations can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution.
By making a donation to NYF directly from your IRA, you can reduce your taxable income while maximizing your support for the children of Nepal.
Please speak with your financial advisor to see if this option is a good fit for you!
7. Join NYF’s newly-formed Annual Giving Circle!
Designed to ensure our shared promise lives on, the Annual Giving Circle is NYF’s way of recognizing those who support our work with an annual gift of $1,000 or more.
Members of the Annual Giving Circle don’t need to change the way they contribute to NYF. All we ask is that you let us know NYF can count on you to contribute at the same time each year so that we can plan and budget with greater confidence from year to year.
In return, we’re cooking up ways to show you how much your generosity is appreciated. And most importantly, to ensure you continue to see the transformative impact your support is creating.
