A gift to the North Star Fund provides critical support for a broad range of community-based organizing and advocacy efforts, and enables New Yorkers with passion, courage and vision to create a better city and nation for all of us.

Each year, we raise most of our grant money from a diverse network of individuals, families, and businesses—New Yorkers like you—who give whatever they can to support their neighbors so that all of us can live in a more just society.

For help in creating a giving strategy that's right for you, please contact Development Director Chandler Bazemore at 212.620.9110 x101 or chandler@northstarfund.org

Other Ways of Giving

Donor-advised giving

In addition to supporting North Star Fund's general fund, many individuals establish donor-advised funds to advance causes and organizations in which they are especially interested.

Make a monthly pledge

Contact us about setting up a monthly donation via credit card. You may also make an annual pledge over several years to help ensure North Star Fund's stability.

Donate stocks, bonds or real property

By donating appreciated property to North Star Fund, you can receive a tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset while avoiding capital-gains tax. You may also want to donate stocks that do not meet your criteria for social responsibility, which North Star Fund can sell to support our general fund.

Take advantage of employer matching gift programs

Many companies match their employees' charitable contributions, sometimes on a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. If your employer has such a program, your gift to North Star Fund could have an even greater impact.

Establish a memorial fund or give a tribute

Honor a loved one with a memorial gift that continues to act on his or her beliefs, or you may give in honor of a special occasion.

Make a bequest

Include North Star Fund in your will as a recipient of either a fixed amount or percentage of your estate.

Establish a charitable trust

Deferred gifts can take many forms. Each of the options can increase your gift to North Star Fund and reduce the tax liability of your estate. We can work with you and/or your financial advisor to set up such an arrangement.

Donate life insurance

Receive a tax deduction for the cash value of a policy in which you designate North Star Fund as the beneficiary, as well as a deduction for the annual premiums.

Give an in-kind gift

Volunteer or donate in-kind services or equipment.
