Donate Through Your IRA
Be a champion for youth in crisis with a gift from your IRA. One of the best ways to support Casa Youth Shelter is through a tax-free gift from your IRA called a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Please call our Administrative Office at (562) 594-6825 or (714) 995-8601 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PST for more information.

 

Donate Gifts of Stock and Securities
Appreciated securities or mutual fund shares that you’ve owned for more than one year are excellent charitable gifts. Each stock gift we receive strengthens our programs while providing tax benefits for the donor.  If you are interested in donating stock or securities, please contact our Administrative Office at (562) 594-6825 or (714) 995-8601 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PST for more information.

 

Donate Through Your DAF (Donor Advised Fund)
A donor advised fund — or DAF — is a charitable account with a sponsoring organization that allows donors to recommend grants/gifts to qualified public charities.  For more information about setting up a donor advised fund, please contact your financial advisor.

Make a grant recommendation through your DAF by making checks payable to Casa Youth Shelter and mail to:

Chief Executive Officer
Casa Youth Shelter
P.O. Box 216
Los Alamitos, CA 90720

If your fund is with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you may make a recommendation directly below via DAF Direct.

Donate Your Crypto Currency
If you own bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, you can now use it to help youth in crisis. Our partners at Crypto for Charity have made it easy to accept cryptocurrency donations, which are immediately converted to cash. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes.
Go to our dedicated crypto-donation page to make your gift.

 

Donate by Wire Transfer
Letting us know that you plan to send a wire transfer in advance will ensure that we are aware of your gift and are prepared to acknowledge your support. For transfer instructions, please contact our Administrative Office at (562) 594-6825 or (714) 995-8601 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PST for more information.

 

Employer matching
Take advantage of a benefit provided by your employer and double – or even triple – the impact of your gift. Contact your HR department to find out if your employer matches employee gifts.

 

Create Your Own Fundraiser
Raise money by creating an online fundraiser that will support our work and honor a special person, milestone, or event at the same time – or throw an in-person party! Please call our Administrative Office at (562) 594-6825 or (714) 995-8601 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PST for more information, and take a look at our Third-Party Toolkit for ideas.
