[accordion_content title=”Vehicle Donations”]Do you have an unwanted vehicle? Don’t trade it in, donate it to the NDSC!

Click here or call 877-999-8322 for the official vehicle donation paperwork. Fill it out, and within a week you’ll get a call and have your vehicle picked up. The NDSC will usually receive the funds from your gift within eight weeks.

Vehicle donations are tax deductible. You are entitled to an itemized tax deduction of the amount the NDSC receives from the sale of your vehicle. Your tax savings may be more to you than a dealer might offer on trade in. Compare what the dealer offers against the value of your tax deduction before you trade in. Plus, the NDSC gets the net proceeds to use in helping others! You may donate cars, trucks, airplanes, boats – virtually any type of vehicle may be donated.

Send paperwork to:

[accordion_content title=”Estate Bequests”]Our patrons often name the NDSC as a beneficiary in their wills, specifying that a certain amount or percentage of their assets be given to our organization upon their death. Making such a bequest is, typically, simply done when drafting or modifying one’s last will and testament. Please consult your attorney if this method of giving is of interest.
[/accordion_content]
[accordion_content title=”Memorials and Honoraria”]Families frequently request that memorial and honoraria donations be made to the NDSC upon the passing of a loved one. We deeply appreciate such considerations, particularly when our organization is recalled in difficult times. Memorial and honoraria donations, however, may also be made at happier times; to mark a significant event such as a birth, graduation or marriage. Individuals or the families of individuals receive a letter from the NDSC acknowledging that a donation has been made honoring or remembering them and those giving the gift receive a thank you letter which can be used for tax purposes. If you wish to have memorial contributions directed to the NDSC, please ask that donations be made out to the National Down Syndrome Congress.

[accordion_content title=”Investments”]You may find, in consultation with your tax advisor, that contribution of stocks, bonds or other investments you own to NDSC may result in significant tax benefits. If you are considering such a donation, please contact us for complete details on how to make the transfer.
