Other Giving Options
Serving Older Adults is pleased to accept other forms of donations including:
Planned Giving: Planned giving is a contribution arranged in the present and allocated at a future date, often through a trust once the donor has passed away. Serving Older Adults is dependent upon the generosity of its friends whose forward-thinking gift ensures the continued success of the organization.
Matched Gifts: These are donations from corporations or businesses that match charitable gifts from employees (or retirees) at a specific ratio set by the employer. Matching gifts require the employee or retiree to complete a matching gift form that is provided to Serving Older Adults to confirm the individual’s gift and returned by SOA to the employer.
A Bequest or codicil in your will or trust is a way to make a deferred gift to Serving Older Adults.

Retirement Plan Assets from employee retirement plans, IRAs or tax-sheltered annuities can be left to Serving Older Adults.
