Donate
UCPGG needs your support.
Donate to UCPGG
United Cerebral Palsy of the Golden Gate needs your support to continue providing services and education. Many employers have matching gift programs that enable employees to increase their giving capacity.
Memorial Gifts or Gifts to Honor a Special Person
People often contribute to UCPGG in memory of a loved one. Another meaningful way to give is to honor a friend or family member on a special occasion.
Gifts of Appreciated Assets
A direct transfer of appreciated stock is a way of making a gift to your favorite charity. The donor avoids paying capital gains taxes on the stock and may also take a charitable deduction for its present market value.
UCPGG is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a tax-exempt non-profit agency in California.
Donate Clothing and Other Household Items
If you would like to donate clothing or other household items, we can schedule a pickup. Please keep in mind the following.
GUIDELINES FOR DONATING
- Only donate items that are clean, in good, usable condition, and meet current safety standards.
- Follow the golden rule. Donate only items that you would use yourself or be happy to give to a friend.
- Ensure items are clean and functional. Wash or dry clean clothing and wipe down household items.
- Test electronics and battery operated items to confirm they work.
- Include all parts. Make sure all pieces and parts for games, toys, or sets (like a pair of shoes) are included.
- Package thoughtfully. Organize items by category (clothing, household goods, books, etc.) and use sturdy boxes or bags that are easy to lift. Label the contents.
Donate a Vehicle
Car donations are fast, easy, and a remarkable way to make a difference.
When you donate a vehicle to UCPGG, you also benefit by:
* Qualifying for an IRS tax deduction
* Avoiding confusing DMV paperwork and smog check hassles
* Receiving a free vehicle pickup whether your donated car is running or not (restrictions apply)
* Avoiding the headaches of selling a used car (no expensive want ads, no phone calls, no showing the car repeatedly)
The car donation organization takes your information over the telephone, handles all documents, vehicle pickup, the sale at auction, and distribution of the proceeds to UCPGG.
The following organizations can assist you in donating your vehicle.
