Your Gift Can Change Lives ...

Donations are the lifeblood of Family Service of Greater New Orleans.  Translated into services and support, the funds we raise provide people with direct service, counseling and other tools to help them become self-sufficient and build strong, interdependent communities.  You can help!

Family Service, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, welcomes gifts of all types, including cash, securities, goods, services and matching donations.  All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by applicable laws.

Here are just a few of the ways that you can give a gift that will make a difference. Before making a donation to Family Service of Greater New Orleans, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor or attorney for full advice on the effect of your gift.

For more information on giving, contact the Development & Communications Office at 504.822.0800.

Cash - Most gifts to Family Service come in the form of cash. If you itemize your return, you can benefit from a federal income tax charitable deduction for up to 50% of your adjusted gross income. Any part of your deduction that you are not able to use can be carried forward for up to five additional years. 

It's quick, easy and safe to support Family Service through the Louisiana Association of Non-Profit Organizations online donation system.  The secured server protects your credit card information.  Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.  

To donate by mail, please print out our mail-in donation form and send it, along with your donation, to:

        Family Service of Greater New Orleans

        2515 Canal Street, Suite 201

        New Orleans, LA 70119

Corporate & Foundation Donors - Family Service affords corporations and foundations many opportunities to support both specific programs and general operations.  With dozens of innovative programs from which to choose, corporate and foundation donors can increase their visibility while reinvesting in their community.  

In-kind Donations - Consider giving old vehicles (such as cars, boats or recreational vehicles), office equipment, holiday gifts for clients, gift certificates for food and clothing or other items.  

Matching Corporate Gifts - Corporate matching gifts can double or even triple your gifts to our organization. Your gift to Family Service of Greater New Orleans may be eligible for matching from your employer.  Contact your Human Resources representative to inquire about matching gifts from your company.

Memorials - Make a gift in honor of a loved one, friend, employee or business client for the holidays or a special occasion, such as a birthday, wedding or anniversary.  We will graciously notify the honoree or family member of your thoughtfulness.

Stocks, Bonds & Real Estate - If you itemize your tax returns, gifts of long-term, appreciated assets may allow you to have a federal income tax charitable deduction. Such gifts provide you with a double income tax benefit--deducting the present, full fair-market value of your gift and avoiding capital gains tax on the asset’s appreciation.  To see if this is the best option for you, please discuss your tax situation with your attorney or accountant.

Trusts - You can make Family Service of Greater New Orleans the end-of-life beneficiary of your estate, trust, individual retirement account, pension, 401(k) or other retirement plan--often  with significant tax advantages.  Family Service may also be designated the end-of-life beneficiary of CDs, savings accounts, share accounts, life insurance policies and other financial holdings.
