Following is the basic info on how to donate to Joe's World Foundation. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.

You can securely donate via credit card through the PayPal Donations service by clicking here.

Please see below for other ways to donate.

For stock or cash transfers (stock transfer donations are very beneficial if you have highly appreciated stocks, since you get the full present market value of the transfer as a tax deduction and hence don't have to pay high tax on the appreciated value of the stocks if you sold them yourself)... Foundation will provide you with an official receipt - Joe manages the Foundation's portfolio.

Here's the info you need to do a stock and/or cash transfer:
Charles Schwab Account #: 7136-5468

Foundation provides receipt.

Donations of computers, equipment, etc.:
Foundation provides receipt for what you say the value is.

For items donated for auction: Foundation provides receipt for what auction sale value was...

For real estate, cars, bigger items: we have appraisals done and do paperwork (title transfer, etc.) and then Foundation provides receipt...

Or whatever creative thing you come up with, we can work with...just the thought is awesome...thanks! And Don't Forget... Matching Gift Programs: If you or your spouse work for a matching gift company, you can take advantage of this program and double, triple, or even quadruple your gifts to Joe's World Foundation. How does the matching gift program work? Each time you make a gift to Joe's World, your employer makes a gift as well. If you give $250 to Joe's World, your employer may contribute a gift ranging from 50% ($125) to 400% ($1000) of your gift. Your employer's policy dictates the matching amount. What are the advantages? As a donor, you will be credited with a total contribution, including the corporate match, so the size of your gift increases. For example, a gift of $500 that is matched dollar for dollar by a donor's company will increase the gift to the $1000. How do I take advantage of this program? Contact your human resources department for instructions on requesting matching gifts. Every time you send in a contribution, include a matching gift form. We'll take care of the rest. If you have additional questions regarding matching gifts, please call Joe's World Foundation at (212) 327-2109.

Feel free to e-mail JoesFund@mac.com if you need further info or if you'd like to meet to discuss how (or for what, if anything in particular) you would like your donation(s) to be focused...of course, a gift over time (endowed fund, interest income, etc.) can be discussed and put together as well...Joe's World Foundation does all the legwork/paperwork for you to make the most of your generosity and guarantees good stuff for kids in return...
