Ways to give

Open a DAF

A donor advised fund allows you to realize your philanthropic vision and make a lasting impact. It’s the simplest way to manage your charitable giving.

Give a Legacy Gift

A legacy gift allows you to give beyond your lifetime, in the form of assets from your estate. Giving a legacy gift invests in a better East Bay starting with future generations.

Donate Online

Making an online donation is a simple and easy way to get started advancing a more just East Bay. You can donate to specific issue based funds, or give to our general fund and support our work.
