Why give monthly? 

Monthly giving lets you spread your giving throughout the year, easily budget for giving and make an ongoing commitment to CARECEN. 

How does Monthly Giving work? 

The monthly giving program automatically transfers your donation directly from your credit card or debit account to CARECEN on the same day of each month. Every dollar helps us support more immigrant neighbors.

Maximize your Impact

Donating stock and securities doesn’t have to be complicated

When you donate securities, you make an outsized impact without taking money direclty out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor CARECEN will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate. 

 

How it works? 

  1. Contact your broker
  2. Ask them to initiate a transfer
  3. Have our stock account information handy 

 

What is our account information and Tax ID number?

Account holder: PNC Investments

DTC #: 0226

Account number: 005-601118

Account name:  CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER CARECEN – Corporation
Tax ID: 52-1271888

 

Should I notify you about my stock gift? 

Unless you’d prefer your stock gift to remain anonymous, please let us know you are initiating a stock gift, so that we may properly acknowledge you for your generosity. 

 

Please email us at admin@carecendc.org or call (202) 328-9799 and include the following information in your notification: 

  1. Name, address, phone, email (all optional, but preferred)
  2. The name of the stock
  3. The number of shares or anticipated gift amount (if able)

 

A tax-smart way to give

Stock donations can be up to 20% more valuable than selling the stock & donating the proceeds, and most donors can claim a tax deduction for the stock’s full value. 

 

How your donation helps

Donating non-cash assets often comes with greater tax ebenfits allowing you to make a larger impact for the families at lower personal financial cost.

LEGACY GIVING

 Leave a lasting legacy by making a planned gift through your estate or financial planning. Your generosity will help sustain CARECEN’s critical housing, legal, and citizenship services for years to come.

We would be honored to be part of your legacy.
