Make A DIFFERENCE.
Make a donation.
There is great need for home repair among those who can't afford it. Our commitment to provide free home repair to qualified homeowners depends on funds we receive each year. Our work is year 'round and your contributions, whether one-time or recurring, make a real difference in the lives of seniors, widows, single moms and disabled veterans. Would you join us in restoring hope for those who need to see others care?
You can give a one-time gift or set up monthly donations. And giving online is secure and easy.
There are Many Ways to Give
Charitable Gifts of Stock
Giving the gift of appreciated stock that has been held at least one year is a great way of blessing our home repair work while giving you, the donor, a wonderful and impactful gift. For example, if your stock has a basis of $500, but has appreciated to $1,000, you will owe capital gains tax on the $500 increase in value. In contrast, if you gift the stock to Good Neighbors (or any other non-profit), the capital gains tax is avoided and the entire amount of $1,000 is a tax-deductible gift.
The procedure is as simple as giving your broker the following information to transfer the shares that you desire to give.
Commonwealth Financial Network

Account # H2Y308093

Please let Good Neighbors know of your gift by phone, email or mail so that we can verify receipt of the stock and acknowledge your charitable donation.

Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping us restore hope by repairing homes.
Required Minimum Distribution
If you are over 72 with an IRA, you know that you must take a Required Minimum Distribution. Did you also know that you can designate some of those funds to a nonprofit, which will reduce your taxable income dollar for dollar? This is especially beneficial if you don’t itemize but could be beneficial even if you do. Consider contacting your financial advisor to see if this would help reduce your taxes next year.

Hope30
We are continuing to celebrate our 30 year anniversary by continuing our HOPE30 giving option. You can make a monthly or one-time donation of $30 to benefit single parent families. These families represent about a quarter of our clients annually. When we repair their homes for free, we alleviate a significant source of stress while making their homes warmer, safer, drier, and healthier.
Imagine a home that is dryer, warmer, safer, and healthier because you helped make it so. Please partner with us this year to repair homes for single parent families in our area.
