• Matching Donations by your Employer - Your company may very well be one of the MANY companies that matches employee donations which doubles your donation. Check if your company will match your donation. Did you know that more than 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching gift or volunteer grant programs, and countless smaller companies have followed suit. Sample Article: Employee Giving Programs 11 Some companies have gotten creative with their corporate giving, offering higher matches to organizations in a specific sector (educational, cultural, environmental, etc.) or even matching funds raised by employees in peer-to-peer campaigns. A few examples of these programs include: * Verizon provides $750 grants for 50 volunteer hours and matches up to $5,000 annually * IBM provides $1,000 grants to nonprofits where an employee has volunteered for 40 hours. They also match up to $5,000 annually for current employees or retirees. See link at top of this page.

• Will it to Us - Name Canine Guardians as a beneficiary in your Will - Many people don’t know it, but you can donate to a charity or nonprofit organization by naming them as a beneficiary in your will. These bequests to charity are often called planned or legacy gifts. And they’re a meaningful, effective way to create a lasting legacy, both for yourself and for causes that are closest to your heart.  
  Many people choose to leave money to a charity in their will, but you can give any of your assets to a nonprofit. This includes:
• Financial assets, like cash, stocks, and bonds
• Real estate (you can even donate your house to charity!)
• Personal property, like your vehicle, jewelry, or artwork
• You can also name a charity as the beneficiary of a non-probate asset, like your life insurance policy, retirement account, or IRA.

• FACEBOOK - Do a Birthday Fundraiser on FACEBOOK and raise money for Canine Guardians. It’s very easy to do. (We suggest asking for $400 for every 200 “friends” you have on FB). Generally, FB suggests this as your birthday approaches.

• PAY PAL / EBAY -We are a PayPal Giving Fund and Ebay for Charities affiliate. You can make us Your Charity if you Buy or Sell on Ebay. Click Here for instructions.

• Honor Someone - A lovely gesture is to make a donation IN MEMORY OF a loved one or service dog or your personal pet. If you would like to do that, we will send a beautiful card stating your gift that you can give the recipient and post a photo and brief description or testimony to your loved one (that you provide.) Email us with instructions.

• IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER - Make an IRA Charitable Rollover to Canine Guardians
  What is an IRA Charitable Rollover?
  If you are age 70 ½ or older (effective this year 72 or older), you can make a gift from your IRA (traditional or Roth) to support Canine Guardians. This strategy works whether you itemize or not.
  Please consult with your tax advisor for the benefits of making an IRA Charitable Rollover.

 Being a sponsor for Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs can be either financial or in-kind support of our nonprofit and will help us to continue to reach our goals of help veterans with PTSD and disabled people. Sponsorship is a continual donation either monthly or annually and does not need to be a huge amount of money, just money we can count on. As a 501c3, we count on your donations to help us help others!
