More ways to contribute to our work

There are many ways, in addition to a one-time or recurring membership donation, to give to GHCC and support our work. Please consider donating via these programs:

​​

  • Corporate Matching for Employee Donations: If you are a business owner or employee of a business that supports the environment and/or encourages employees to donate to charitable organizations, establish or take part in a corporate matching program for donations made by you or your employees to GHCC. We can be found on EarthShare, YourCause by Blackbaud, and Benevity. If your company uses a different platform, just let us know.​

​​

​​

  • Donate through your IRA: While charitable contributions from retirement accounts may incur taxes, traditional IRA holders who are at the age of taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) may elect to donate these, up to $100,000, to qualified 501(c)3 charities such as GHCC without it being considered a taxable distribution. These donations also reduce your taxable adjusted gross income. More information on donating some or all of your RMDs is available here. The IRS has specific rules governing how to make these Charitable Qualified Distributions (CQDs) that your IRA custodian can help answer.

​​

  • Donate Stock: GHCC maintains a money market account through Edward Jones Financial. Please reach out to megan@hellscanyon.org for more information about how to donate stock to GHCC.
