Double Your Donation
Many employers match charitable gifts—sometimes doubling or even tripling your impact! Ask your company’s Human Resources Department if they offer matching gift programs or payroll deduction options for nonprofit giving. Your generosity could go twice as far in supporting our mission of Dignity Through Independence.
Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, you can easily recommend a grant directly to Alternatives, Inc. DAF giving is one of the most effective ways to make an immediate impact while enjoying the flexibility and potential tax advantages of your charitable fund.
To contribute through your DAF, use your provider’s online portal or by clicking the button below. If your provider is not listed, please contact your fund advisor and request that your DAF contribution be directed to:

Give a Commemorative Gift
Honor someone special or remember a loved one through a tribute or memorial donation. These heartfelt gifts celebrate meaningful lives while helping others thrive. You can make a commemorative gift online, by mail, or by phone—and we’ll gladly notify the honoree or their family of your thoughtful contribution.
Leave a Legacy for the Future
For many, Alternatives is more than a program—it’s a place of empowerment and belonging. By including Alternatives, Inc. in your will or estate plan, you ensure that your compassion continues to change lives for generations to come.
Planned gifts such as bequests, charitable trusts, annuities, gifts of stock, or life insurance support the long-term sustainability of our mission while offering potential tax benefits to you and your estate. To explore your options, please consult your financial planner, accountant, or attorney.
Every contribution—large or small—moves us closer to a community where everyone has the chance to thrive. Your generosity ensures that dignity, independence, and opportunity remain within reach for all.
