Your Support

Makes an Impact

MAKE A SECURE ONLINE DONATION HERE

Your support helps transform lives. We help parents live free from the fear of being evicted from their home; we pursue restitution after people have been scammed out of their savings; we ensure access to the benefits you are due; and we protect loved ones from elder abuse. Every donation we receive makes a world of difference to seniors that have no other place to turn.

Ways to Give

GIVE MONTHLY A monthly gift will give us confidence that we can continue to meet the needs of our community through funding ups and downs.

GIVE IN HONOR/IN MEMORY A gift in memory or in honor of a loved one is a wonderful tribute to their life, and an excellent way to ensure that our seniors receive critical legal help.

MAKE A LEGACY CONTRIBUTION Create a lasting impact by including Senior Legal Services in your estate plans. Your legacy gift protects vulnerable seniors and ensures trusted legal support for generations to come.

GIVE FROM AN IRA If you are 70 ½ or above, you can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly to us through the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County. The distribution counts toward the Individual Retirement Account owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD). You can also make a one-time distribution to fund Senior Legal Services.

GIVE FROM A DAF You can use your Donor-Advised Funds to make grants to Senior Legal Services.

GIVE STOCKS Donate stock to Senior Legal Services and help your community’s most vulnerable. Gifts of appreciated securities can offer you important tax advantages.

GIVE REAL ESTATE A gift of real estate can give you a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property—while allowing you to avoid paying capital gains tax. We can help you work out the details.

DONATE A VEHICLE Through the CARS program, you can donate your car, truck, motorcycle, RV, bus, or boat to Senior Legal Services. The process is easy, pick-up is free, and your gift is tax-deductible.
