Here at Human Options, we see the impact that one person like you can have on a survivor’s path to empowerment and transformation every day. You show up with compassion, generosity, and courage to help survivors take that first step to safety or continue their healing journey.
Your Courage Can Go Even Further
You already help make a difference in the lives of survivors in our community. Here are other ways to make the impact you have always envisioned.
Many of you might not know that there are other ways to give that don’t require writing a check and create long-lasting transformation for survivors.
Whether you are thinking about your legacy, exploring tax-smart giving options, or simply wondering how to do more with what you already have, we are here to support you in achieving your vision.
Here are Options For Giving That Grows Your Impact
Give from Your IRA
If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to Human Options. This may count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and reduce your taxable income. To qualify for this year, your gift must be made by December 31.
Give through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Human Options gratefully accepts gifts from Donor-Advised Funds. DAFs offer flexible, tax-smart giving options. If you make a gift through a DAF, please let us know—some sponsoring organizations don’t share donor information, and we want to thank you personally.
Give Appreciated Stock
Donating stock that has grown in value may allow you to give more without increasing your out-of-pocket costs. You may be eligible to avoid capital gains tax, making this a win-win for you and for survivors.
Leave a Legacy through Your Will or Estate Plan
By including Human Options in your plans, you can leave a legacy of healing and transformation for generations to come. We would be honored to welcome you into our legacy society.
Important Note: Changes to charitable giving laws may take effect next year. We recommend speaking with your financial advisor to explore what is best for you.

Thank you for your continued support and consideration. From all of us at Human Options, we are incredibly grateful for someone like you that shows up with compassion, generosity, and courage to help survivors rebuild their lives.
