Other Ways to Give
There are many meaningful ways to make a difference beyond a traditional donation. Whether you choose to give stock, real estate, workplace gifts, or a Qualified Charitable Distribution, each option strengthens Open Door’s mission and helps ensure no neighbor faces hunger alone. These forms of giving are often simple, tax‑wise, and deeply impactful — allowing you to support local families in a way that aligns with your values and your financial plans.
Stock
Donating appreciated stock can be one of the most tax‑wise ways to support Open Door. When you give stock directly, you may avoid capital gains tax while providing meaningful resources that help feed and support local families.
Property
Real estate or other property can be transformed into life‑changing support for neighbors in need. Whether it’s a home, land, or other assets, these gifts can offer significant tax benefits while strengthening Open Door’s mission.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable gifts — doubling your impact! Check with your company’s HR or benefits office to see if they’ll match your donation to Open Door, helping provide twice the food, dignity, and hope to families in need.
Employee Payroll Giving
Payroll giving allows you to support Open Door through small, automatic deductions from each paycheck. It’s a simple, steady way to make a big difference over time and keep our shelves stocked throughout the year.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax‑free gift directly from your IRA to Open Door. A QCD can satisfy part or all of your required minimum distribution while helping ensure no neighbor faces hunger alone.
