Payroll deductions offer an easy way to support Clare Housing. If your employer participates in a community-giving campaign, such as United Way or Community Shares, you may direct your giving to Clare Housing by choosing us as your recipient organization.

Many corporations and small businesses match donations their employees make to nonprofit organizations. Ask your employer if matching gifts are available and include your employer's matching gift form with your gift to Clare Housing. Fill out the donor section of the form and we will take care of the rest.

4. CONSIDER A GIFT OF STOCK OR MUTUAL FUNDS

Looking for a tax deduction as you prioritize your stock or mutual fund portfolio? Did you know that you might be able to receive a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift? Please consult your financial advisor for specifics regarding this option.

There are many ways that you can include Clare Housing in your estate planning. Planned gifts allow you to have a lasting impact on our work to provide affordable housing, supportive services and compassionate care to individuals.
