Receiving monthly gifts allows Second Helpings to plan our budget, knowing what gifts we can depend on receiving. Scheduling a recurring gift can also help you fit giving into your monthly budgets and perhaps even see that doing so allows you to give more than you could at one time.
Second Helpings is a 501(c)3 organization. You can download a copy of our IRS designation letter or our W-9 form.
Appreciated stocks can be donated to Second Helpings by transferring them directly into our account. Since electronic transfers of stock arrive with no donor name attached, we ask that you contact us prior to transferring stock to Second Helpings.
