Other Ways To Give

Gifts don’t have to be monetary to make a great impact. You can make a difference by donating in-kind items, or even by shopping! We are firm believers in each and every one of us giving what we can in our own way – every effort can make a difference to a child or family participating in CentroNía’s programs.

Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a great way to support CentroNía’s programs. CentroNía solicits and accepts gifts of stock, bonds and mutual funds. Appreciated securities that you have owned for more than one year could qualify for a charitable income-tax deduction for the full fair market value. A direct transfer donation from your IRA could have additional benefits to you. Make sure to discuss these options with your tax advisor.

For stock donations to CentroNía please contact us or call (202) 332-4200 to speak with Myrna Peralta, President & CEO.
