Guide to Giving
Wondering how to make your next gift to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation?
We've made it easy to make a loving, leading, lasting contribution. Because we are a 501(c)(3) public charity, your gifts not only launch our next generation of leaders, but may provide a tax benefit.* The Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation’s Tax ID# is 35-2057322. Call our Foundation office at 317.663.4242 with any questions or visit alphagammadeltafoundation.org.
Send your check or credit card gift to: Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation 8710 N Meridian Street Indianapolis, IN 46260
ONLINE
Giving with your credit or debit card at alphagammadeltafoundation.org/ donate is a secure and quick way to give a gift. Make a one-time or recurring monthly gift. The Foundation accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and direct debit.
BE A JEWEL
Jewel Society members—donors giving $500 or more annually— are essential to the impact of the Foundation. Jewel Society members receive special invitations to Foundation events.
BE A GEM (GIVE EVERY MONTH)
A recurring credit card or bank debit gift eliminates check writing, reduces solicitations and breaks giving into manageable, monthly amounts. It also maximizes your gift by saving the Foundation fundraising costs. Visit alphagammadeltafoundation.org/donate and check the “Make this a monthly gift” option.
BE A CORINTHIAN
Estate gifts and bequests leave a legacy and transform lives. Include the Foundation in your will or trust, or as a beneficiary to your IRA or life insurance. Let us know how we can help.

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS
Your contribution to the Foundation can have an even bigger impact if you are employed by a company that provides matching gifts. This option requires little work on your part and can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our sisters and in our communities. Ask your company about its matching gift program, and if it will match a gift you make to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, a 501(c)(3), public charity.
IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVERS
Another easy way to give! Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) or a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA to the Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, for your area of choice. Check with your financial advisor regarding current guidelines.
HONORS/MEMORIALS
Members and friends of Alpha Gamma Delta can make gifts to the Foundation in honor of special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or holidays or in memory of loved ones. The Foundation office can mail an acknowledgment card to the honoree or family.
ENDOWMENT & NAMED OPPORTUNITIES
Endowment funds can be established for your philanthropic passions, with beginning gift levels of $50,000 spread over five years. One-time named opportunities begin at the $2,500 donation level.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Make a gift from your donor advised fund to impact the lives of our future leaders or sisters in need.
SPONSORSHIPS
A gift is such a personal expression of someone’s care or passion. Maybe you have an idea for something special you’d like to support—or perhaps you'd like to give a one-time gift to sponsor or underwrite a scholarship, SIS Grant or leadership program. Sponsorships begin at the $2,500 donation level.
APPRECIATED STOCKS OR SECURITIES
Make a gift of appreciated stock to maximize your tax benefit. You may avoid capital gains taxes while receiving an income tax-deduction for the full fair market value of your gift. Many donors find they are able to make a larger gift using appreciated securities over cash. Remember, the transfer of stocks may take several days, so be sure to plan ahead and always consult your financial advisor.
