Support IOA

Institute on Aging depends on community support to help us serve seniors and adults with disabilities. We appreciate the ways our friends and neighbors in the Bay Area choose to make a difference in the lives of elders in our community. We know you take a moment each day to smile at an older adult on the street, or to give a family member or friend a phone call or visit. We thank you for voting for initiatives that support funding for social services. And we are grateful that you donate your time and money in support of Institute on Aging's work.

Ways you can help

Consider making a tax deductible individual or corporate donation. Volunteer your time and help to enrich lives while making friends. Sponsor one of our educational, community or fundraising events.

Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Stock and Bond Donations

A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing with others. If you have appreciated stocks or securities, you can use them to make a donation and pay no capital gains tax. Simply ask your broker to transfer your stocks/securities to the Institute on Aging account: Wells Fargo, Account No: 1900-4282, DTC#: 0733, Account Rep: Carol A. Hurn at (415) 396-2370

Charitable IRA Rollover

Donors 70 1/2 or older may make charitable donations of up to $100,000 per year from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) directly to a public charity without counting them as part of their adjusted gross income. Contact your IRA provider for details.

Matching Gift Donations

Thousands of companies have Matching Gift programs that double, or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees. Ask your personnel office about your company's Matching Gift program.
