Matching Gifts

There are thousands of companies nationwide that will match an employee’s charitable contribution- often doubling or even tripling the amount of the original gift. In some cases, companies even match gifts made by retired employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please use our convenient search engine (or listing if possible).

Gift Pledges

BGCGW welcomes your gift through a pledge — a formal statement of intention to make a gift to the organization. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular payments over time. Each payment on your pledge is eligible for an income-tax charitable deduction. For more information, please contact the Development Office at 202-540-2300.

Securities/Stock

Making a gift of Appreciated Securities/Stock to BGCGW such as stocks, mutual fund shares, or other appreciated assets can be a great tax-efficient donation method. In most instances, you can take a tax deduction for the full market value of the gift and avoid any capital gains tax. If you have further questions, or would like assistance in making a gift of securities/stock, please contact the Development Office at 202-540-2300 and we would be happy to assist you.

Planned Gifts

The BGCGW planned giving staff will work closely and confidentially with you and your financial advisers to ensure that your gift achieves your individual goals and expresses your personal vision for our organization. For additional information or assistance, please contact the Director of Sponsorships & Corporate Relations at 202-540-2322.
