HOW YOU CAN HELP

Your support will help Lund Family Center maintain and expand the high-quality services that produce successful results for Vermont’s children and families. There are two ways you can contribute to the success of Lund Family Center’s mission: contributing financially and volunteering


Check, cash, credit, and pledges
All contributions to Lund Family Center are tax deductible.

Contributions can be mailed to: Lund Family Center
P.O. Box 4009
Burlington, Vermont 05406-4009
Attn: Development Department

*Please explore your company’s gift matching policy. Many companies will match employee contributions to an organization. You may be able to double or triple your gift by getting information about your company’s matching gift program and filling out a short form.

Make a gift of appreciated stock. By giving appreciated stock directly to Lund Family Center, you may avoid hefty capital gains taxes and also receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. Gifts of appreciated stock generally offer a greater tax benefit than cash. It is important to check with your attorney or financial advisor in any gift planning to make sure that you are choosing the best way to achieve your personal and charitable goals.

Include Lund Family Center in your will. By including Lund Family Center in your will, you ensure that your support of the Lund Family Center mission continues in perpetuity. Such a contribution also helps ensure that Lund Family Center services continue to reach those most in need for years to come. A bequest in a will or other estate plan can be made for a specific dollar amount, a percentage, or the remainder of an estate.

Other Methods of Planned Giving. There are a number of ways in which planned gifts to Lund can ensure Lund's future ability to serve Vermont's children and families. For instance, you can:

• Designate Lund as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or pension plan;

• Establish a flexible living trust or a charitable remainder trust that provides assets to Lund while continuing to provide you the full use and benefit of those assets during your lifetime; and,

• Contribute cash, real estate, personal property, insurance proceeds, or other assets - particularly those that would cost you high capital gains tax – to Lund.

Raise Money Through Internet Use. There is a search engine called GoodSearch.Com that donates 50 percent of it's revenue to charities, such as Lund Family Center.  Imagine Lund earning a penny every time you search the internet.  Or a percentage of every purchase you make at online vendors such as Amazon.com, Target, Best Buy, eBay, and Barnes and Noble. If 1000 people designated Lund as their beneficary through GoodSearch, and used the search engine to look for other sites twice a day, we could earn $7300 - just from searching the internet!

• Go to www.goodsearch.com and enter Lund Family Center as your designated charity.
