In-kind donations are a vital form of charity, involving the contribution of goods, services, or expertise. Your donation assists our residents with their every day lives as they go through residential treatment and therapy. For a list of needs for our individual programs, check out the Amazon Wishlist below:

A donation pledge is a commitment from a donor to give a specific amount of money to an organization over a set period of time.

A tribute or memorial gift is a particularly meaningful way to honor or remember family, friends, and colleagues. Choose to acknowledge your gift with an eCard or have Riverbend prepare an acknowledgment card that will be promptly mailed to you or to the recipient you request.

Donation matching gifts are a type of corporate philanthropy where a company matches their employee’s donation to a charitable organization. Check with your company to see if they participate in donation matching.

Estate planning is a way for individuals to make a significant contribution to a nonprofit organization beyond their lifetime. Legacy gifts are donations made through estate planning, such as bequests , and can have a significant impact on a nonprofit’s long-term sustainability.

Riverbend accepts donations of publicly traded stock and securities. Giving stock can be a tax-efficient way to support our mission while making a meaningful impact on the individuals and families we serve.

By donating appreciated stock that you have held for more than one year, you may be able to:

  1. avoid capital gains tax
  2. receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the shares, subject to IRS guidelines.

This can allow you to give more to Riverbend than if you sold the stock and donated the cash.

To make a stock donation, please contact our team for transfer instructions. Once the shares are received, Riverbend will provide a written acknowledgment for your records.

For additional giving options, please see below. For questions please email us at development@riverbendmv.org
