Ways to Give

Ways to Donate
Your donation to the National Urban League can be made by check, credit card, stock gifts or other securities, planned gifts, real estate, or in a plan that works for you.
 
Contribute Online - Our secure gift service offers a quick, convenient and safe method for making a contribution using your credit card.
 
Contribute via a check, credit card, or by wire transfer from your bank - Contributions are fully deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law for the year in which you make the contribution. When wiring a contribution, contact us to obtain the wire transfer information that will be needed by your bank.
 
Contribute stock or other securities - You may claim a tax deduction for the full market value of appreciated stock, bonds, and other kinds of securities that you have held for over a year. Contact us to make arrangements to contribute securities.
 
Contribute via an Employee Matching Gift Program - Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees (often on a 2:1 or 3:1 basis). Contact the Human Resources or Public Affairs office at your work and find out if your employer offers such a program.
 
Consider a Planned Gift - Name the National Urban League, or one of our affiliates, in your will. You can make a bequest in several ways. For example, you can specify that the National Urban League receive a one-time fixed dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. You can specify that, after other beneficiaries are given fixed amounts, the National Urban League receive the remaining assets. Contact us for the information you will need to make this arrangement.
 
Contribute in other ways - Consider contributing a life insurance policy, establishing a charitable trust, donating real estate or personal property, or taking advantage of the sale of a company. Contact our staff to work with you to facilitate these and other creative giving options.
