Your Investments Can Change Lives
A Smarter Way to Give. A Greater Impact on Our Community.
Did you know that donating appreciated stock can be a smart way to support a cause you care about while potentially benefiting from tax savings?
When you donate eligible appreciated stock directly to The Danielle Project, you may be able to avoid capital gains tax and qualify for a charitable tax deduction.
This means more of your investment can go toward supporting survivors of human trafficking, raising awareness, and creating opportunities for a brighter future.
See the Difference
Let’s say you purchased stock for $10,000 and it’s now worth $50,000.
If You Sell the Stock First:
- Investment value: $50,000
- Potential capital gains tax: $8,000
- Amount available to donate: $42,000
If You Donate the Stock Directly:
- Investment value: $50,000
- Capital gains tax on the direct donation: Generally $0
- Potential donation value: $50,000
That’s potentially $8,000 more going toward making a difference!
Example assumes stock held longer than one year and a 20% federal capital gains tax rate. Actual tax benefits vary.
How to Donate Stock
Giving stock is easier than you might think!
- Contact your financial advisor or brokerage firm.
- Request a direct stock transfer to The Danielle Project.
- Reach out to our team for transfer instructions.
- Receive an acknowledgment of your donation.
Your Investment. Their Future.
Whether you’re considering a gift of $5,000 or $50,000, your generosity can help us continue our mission of supporting survivors and making a lasting impact in our community.

Get Involved: How to Help
We believe every woman and child deserves a chance to redefine their future, irrespective of their past. By joining our mission, you can help provide these victims with the support and opportunities they need to embark on a journey toward a meaningful and beautiful life.
Our Big Goal
The Danielle Project has set an ambitious goal to raise $5 million to purchase a motel/apartment complex in the Phoenix area. This facility will serve as a safe haven for women and young children rescued from human trafficking or domestic violence, providing them with the resources and support needed to rebuild their lives.
Creating a Haven of Hope
Our vision is to create a nurturing environment where these women and children can access:
- Counseling and Mentorship: A dedicated team of counselors, mentors, and staff will guide victims toward a healthy new life.
- Educational Opportunities: Scholarships to cosmetology, esthetics, or trade schools will empower them to build sustainable careers.
- On-Site Resources: Services, including an on-site clothing store, will help restore their confidence and self-worth.
Supporting The Danielle Project: Your Options for Contribution
Your generosity can significantly impact our cause, and there are several ways to contribute, each with potential tax benefits and even possibilities for income. Explore the various methods below to find the one that aligns with your philanthropic and financial goals.
Legacy Gift
Leave a lasting legacy by naming The Danielle Project in your will, trust, or estate plan.
IRA Charitable Transfer
Take advantage of the permanent IRA charitable transfer law to make a gift directly from your IRA, potentially reducing your taxable income.
Designated Beneficiary Contributions
Consider making The Danielle Project the beneficiary of your retirement account, investment fund, bank account, or life insurance policy.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Contribute cash or appreciated assets to us in return for a fixed annual income for life, with the rate influenced by your age at the time of the gift.
Charitable Remainder Unitrusty
Donate cash or appreciated assets to establish a trust that provides a lifetime income and benefits our mission upon your passing.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
Similar to a unitrust, this trust offers you a fixed annual income after you contribute cash or appreciated assets, supporting our work in the future.
Charitable Lead Trust
Create a lead trust with your contribution, which supports our efforts for a set period, after which the remaining assets go to your heirs, often with tax savings.
Property Sale and Trust
By donating a portion of your property to fund a charitable trust, you can receive immediate cash and lifelong income once the property is sold.
Advantageous Sale
Sell your property to us below market value, gain cash, and receive a tax deduction for the difference in value.
Twofold Legacy Trust
Looking to support your children and our cause? This trust allows you to pass your IRA to a trust after your lifetime, providing income to your beneficiaries first, then supporting our mission.
Reserved Life Estate
If you wish to donate your home or farm to us after your lifetime but want an immediate tax deduction, a reserved life estate can be a suitable option.
Immediate and Testamentary Gift
Combine a current donation with a future bequest, enjoying the satisfaction of immediate support to our cause and a lasting legacy.
Endowment Contributions
Create an enduring impact by starting an endowment fund, which can support our mission now or in the future.
IRA to Gift Annuity Conversion
For those aged 70 or older, convert your IRA into a charitable gift annuity, securing lifetime payments and furthering our mission.
Each method of giving offers unique benefits and opportunities to help The Danielle Project thrive. We recommend consulting with your financial advisor to determine the best approach for your situation. Your support is invaluable, and we are here to assist you in making the process as rewarding and straightforward as possible.
