Identity’s Transformational Campaign
to support ambitious growth and innovation to increase Identity’s impact, meet our infrastructure needs, and ensure our viability in the event of a crisis
With this Campaign, which coincided with our 25th Anniversary year, we will be able to:
• Scale up and sustain existing, effective programs to address growing community needs
• Innovate and test new programs to respond to in-demand opportunities
• Create a thriving community center that symbolizes and transforms the Latino community’s sense of belonging, wellbeing and opportunity and accommodates Identity’s recent and planned growth
• Ensure capacity to respond to unforeseen events and needs

Make a gift of securitiesGifts of stocks make excellent charitable gifts. By donating stock, you avoid costly gains and significantly help Identity’s client community at the same time. We will be happy to assist you in transferring assets to complete your gift.
-
Special tax-free IRA giftsFor those 70 1/2 or older, it is possible to make tax-favored charitable gifts from traditional and Roth IRA accounts. A total of up to $100,000 per year can be transferred directly from traditional or Roth IRAs to one or more qualified charities, such as Identity, free from federal income tax. Amounts given in this way count toward required IRA minimum withdrawal amounts for the year of the gift. Check with your tax advisor for more information.
-
Make a planned giftFor some donors, a planned gift – or other type of deferred giving arrangement – may better suit your financial and planning needs. These can be structured through a variety of vehicles, including a bequest in a will, a trust arrangement, and other income-producing vehicles such as life insurance and annuities. In considering a planned gift, it is best to consult your tax, legal, and financial advisor(s). We will be happy to work with you and your advisor(s) to structure a gift. If you have any questions or need help with your donation, please reach out to development@Identity-youth.org.

Learn about our Annual Back-to-School Supply DriveStarting a new school year is difficult for students whose connection to school is insecure or fragile. This is especially true for those who are living in poverty and/or are new to our community and system of education. Help us fill their backpacks with the supplies they need to start on an equal footing. Each new backpack filled with age-appropriate supplies costs about $50. Learn more!
Thank you to friends and supporters who have made a gift to the Transformational Campaign!
