Matching Gifts

This permits doubling or even tripling the dollar value of your annual gift. Please check to see if you or your spouse are affiliated with a matching gift company or organization.

Stock Donations

Donations of stock benefit both the donor and The Danish Home, as you can avoid capital gains and get a tax deduction. Call us at 773-775-7383 and tell us the brokerage that will be making the transaction as well as the name of the stock and how many shares. Be sure to also get the name and account information for The Danish Home’s brokerage.

Create a Facebook Fundraiser

Some of our friends have created “GoFundMe” pages and other social media campaigns to the benefit of The Danish Home’s “Our Future in Focus” Capital Campaign. It’s a friendly, social way to “crowd fund” in any amount, and it’s easy to set up.
