Alternative Options for Donation

Planned giving can reduce the IRS’s share of an estate and redirect it to organizations like SURVIVORS that carry out the charitable work you value. Consider leaving a legacy of support for many years to come – for more information, call (619) 278-2400.

Help us by donating your car, truck, or other vehicle. Call (866) 332-1778 or visit V-DAC online. Simply fill out some paperwork and V-DAC will conveniently pick up your vehicle as a tax-deductible donation.

Support us by linking your grocery store cards. Go to the Ralphs or Food 4 Less sites, select “enroll” under the “Participant” heading, register, and enter NPO # 84761. From then on, a percentage of what you spend will go toward SURVIVORS!
