Ways to Give
All payment methods are available for both the charitable and advocacy entities.
Online via Stripe
Eligible payment methods may include card, ACH, and Bank Transfer through Stripe, depending on the selected entity, transaction amount, contributor location, financial institution, and Stripe availability.
Check
Make payable to the appropriate legal entity and mail to our address on file. Contact us for mailing instructions.
Wire / Bank Transfer
For substantial bank transfers, please contact us to receive verified payment instructions directly. S.A.V.E. will never request that you redirect a transfer through an unsolicited email, text, or social-media message.
Planned Giving
Bequests, charitable remainder trusts, and other planned-giving arrangements. Contact us to discuss options with our leadership.
Corporate Matching
Many employers match charitable gifts dollar-for-dollar. Check with your HR department to see if your company participates.
Bank Transfer Fraud Prevention
For substantial bank transfers, contributors should verify the payment instructions presented through Stripe and their financial institution before releasing funds. S.A.V.E. will never request that a contributor redirect a transfer to different banking instructions through an unsolicited email, text message, or social-media message. This notice applies to both entities. If you receive such a message, do not act on it and contact us immediately.
How It Works
From first contact to confirmed contribution in four steps.
Choose your pathway
Decide whether your gift supports the charitable (C3) or advocacy (C4) entity — or both through separate transactions.
Contact us or proceed online
For gifts under $500,000, you may proceed directly through our secure Stripe checkout. For gifts of $500,000 or more, or if you prefer to discuss the arrangement first, submit the inquiry form below and our team will be in touch within two business days.
Complete your contribution
Submit payment through Stripe (eligible methods may include card, ACH, and Bank Transfer depending on entity, amount, location, and Stripe availability), check, or wire transfer with verified instructions. Each entity processes payments through its own separate account.
Receive your documentation
Charitable (C3) contributors receive a written acknowledgment for gifts of $250 or more. Advocacy (C4) contributors receive a payment receipt. Documentation is entity-specific and will never be cross-issued.
Interested in Sponsorship Instead?
If your organization expects advertising, promotional recognition, event benefits, contractual benefits, or another exchange of value, please contact S.A.V.E. before submitting payment so the arrangement can be reviewed and handled appropriately. Sponsorship arrangements are distinct from charitable gifts or advocacy contributions and must be structured separately.
Discuss SponsorshipDocumentation & Verification
S.A.V.E. provides entity-specific documentation only. We will never provide a C3 document to represent a C4 contribution, or vice versa.
