WAYS TO DONATE

There are many ways to give

No matter how you choose to donate, your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent possible. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and our federal tax ID number is 45-3767621.

If you have any questions, contact our Development Office, and we will be happy to help.

Mail a Check

Please make out checks to Challenge Success and send to:

Challenge Success
P.O. Box 20053
531 Lasuen Mall
Stanford, California 94309

Include a note telling us how you’d like your gift to be used (e.g., Area of Greatest Need, Annual Fund, Winter Fundraiser, etc.) as well as how you would like to be recognized in our Annual Report.

Credit Card

We welcome your gift via credit card using the form below. Please keep in mind that credit card fees are a burden for non-profits and reduce the reach of your gift; we invite you to consider adding 3-5% to your contribution to cover these fees.

Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds are a wonderful way to support non-profits and enjoy tax benefits. We invite you to recommend a grant to Challenge Success from your fund directly, or use DAF Direct to request a grant via Fidelity, Schwab, or BNY Mellon. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Development Office directly. Our tax ID is 45-3767621.

Stocks & Securities

We are happy to accept your contribution of stocks, securities, or mutual funds via Stockdonator, a trusted partner for non-profits. Once you navigate to the secure Stockdonator website, you will need the following information to complete your transfer:

• Stock Symbol
• Number of Shares
• Name and date of birth of account holder
• Brokerage Firm
• Account Name
• Account Number

If you have any questions, feel free to contact our Development Office and we will be happy to help.

Crypto

We are pleased to partner with Endaoment, a new public charity that facilitates donations to Non-Profits built atop the Ethereum blockchain. They have created a crypto-native application that allows donors to seamlessly make donations of their crypto directly from their crypto-wallet.

To support us with a gift of cryptocurrency, simply follow these steps:

Connect an Ethereum wallet to the Endaoment app, and visit our Endaoment profile

From our profile, you can: (1) Donate directly, (2) Recommend a grant to us from a previously created Endaoment Donor-Advised Fund, or (3) Contact the Endaoment team to make an “over-the-counter” gift of any other digital asset

Once the gift is complete, your gift is immediately liquidated into USD and transferred to Challenge Success

Planned Gifts

Planned giving provides future gifts to charities through your financial and estate plans. After you have provided for your loved ones, transferring a percentage of your remaining assets to Challenge Success can have a lasting impact and continue your legacy. Some planned giving avenues to consider are:

Bequests & Estate Gifts: These gifts are made by including a provision in your will or living trust, or by naming Challenge Success as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy.

Life Income Gifts: These gifts allow you to give assets to Challenge Success while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time before we are permitted to use your gift.

As with any decision involving your assets, we recommend that you seek the advice of a financial planner and attorney. Please feel free to reach out to the Development Office about arranging your planned gift.

IRA QCD

If you are over the age of 70 and a half, you may be eligible for tax benefits by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to Challenge Success from your IRA. For more information, please contact your brokerage firm or visit the IRS website regarding QCDs.

Matching Gifts

A common benefit with many employers is to sponsor matching gift programs. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please contact your Human Resources Department. The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

YOUR IMPACT

Every dollar you donate makes a difference
