Share and Care welcomes friends and supporters from all over the country that wish to help promote our projects and further our mission. You can talk about the activities of Share and Care to your friends and encourage them to visit our website and send us their names and addresses so that we can add them to our mailing list. For those individuals outside of the Tri-State New Jersey area, we would be happy to establish a liaison relationship and explore specific ideas and projects for involvement. Additionally, Share and Care members will be pleased to make presentations about the Foundation's activities to the members of associations and organizations, where you are actively involved. Please contact us for more information.

One of the most critical areas of focus within Share and Care is increasing the involvement of the next generation. Our outreach efforts include developing satellite groups on college campuses to help spread the word on Share and Care's projects and fundraising efforts. If you are a college student and wish to help, please contact us for more information.

For those looking to make a tax-deductible financial contribution, they can send checks payable to Share and Care Foundation, 676 Winters Avenue, Paramus, NJ 07652; or donate online by credit card. There are several other ways to make donations to Share and Care; such as:

• Gift of Securities

Many donors prefer to use appreciated stocks instead of a personal check. This method is advantageous to the donors, as they can save the capital gains taxes at both federal and state level. You will have to authorize your broker to transfer the securities to Share and Care Foundation. For complete procedures and instructions please contact us.

• Matching Gifts

Many corporations match or multiply their employee's gifts to a charitable organization. You should ask whether your or your spouse's employer participates in such a program. If yes, then you have to complete your company's form and send it to us. We will then complete the form after we have received your donation and forward it to your employer for their matching gift.

 

• Contributions to United Way

Share and Care Foundation is registered with United Way. If you are making a payroll deduction for contribution to United Way, you can designate Share and Care Foundation as your choice organization for your donation. Here also, some corporations match employee's contribution.

 

• Great Hearts Leave Footprints .
  Estate Planning...

Some donors designate charitable organizations as beneficiary of their estate. Share and Care Foundation has been a proud beneficiary of the legacy left behind by noble souls.

Examples of a planned gift are a bequest provision in your will, a charitable gift annuity, a charitable remainder trust and certain kinds of life insurance policies. These vehicles offer specific tax advantages and can feature lifetime income to a donor's beneficiary. As there are several ways of accomplishing this objective, we recommend that you should consult your attorney and financial consultant. If there are any specific questions, please contact us.
