Giving cash is a quick and straightforward way to support our mission. Your gift provides immediate impact, and you’ll benefit from a charitable tax deduction that may offer savings on your tax return.

Many companies nationwide match employee and retiree donations to their favorite charities. If your employer participates, you can double or even triple the impact of your gift.

Donating securities, such as stocks or bonds, is an easy way to support our mission. By gifting appreciated securities, you can avoid capital gains tax while also receiving a charitable income tax deduction.

Donating retirement assets, such as from your IRA, 401k, 403b, pension, or other tax-deferred plans, is a powerful way to support GLA’s mission. By making a gift of these assets, you can help advance learning while benefiting from significant tax advantages.
