Ways to Give

Contributions, no matter how large or small, will help low-income individuals and families make a path to a better future for them and their children. Photo: Mike Elliott

For every dollar we raise, we leverage $16 in grants, loans and equity to build a better life for low-income people.

We are currently using Network For Good, the Internet's leading charitable resource to process any gifts and contributions that you wish to make electronically.

Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Challenge
Enterprise trustee Dorothy Cullman and her husband, Lewis, recognized early on that Enterprise’s long- term commitment to affordable housing would require sustainable funding. They created the Cullman challenge, which raised $12 million from Enterprise stakeholders to support a special endowment. The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Foundation has generously pledged a $1 million additional gift to the Cullman Challenge.

Gifts of Stock
Making a stock gift to Enterprise can provide valuable tax benefits for you at the same time it provides us with the capital we need to catalyze affordable housing.  The fourth quarter is a good time to review your portfolio and take a close look at::

  1. Stocks that you’ve held for more than a year and
  2. Stocks that have appreciated significantly 

Selling that stock means tax due on the profit, while giving it to Enterprise eliminates the tax bill and gains you an income tax deduction for the full cash value of the stock. 

Gifts in Memory
Your gift in memory of a loved one will be communicated with an Enterprise gift card and recognized in our annual report. Donate Now to provide us with all the necessary information. 

Gifts in Honor of Friends and Family
This is a perfect gift for the person in your life who is impossible to shop for.  Your gift will be communicated with an Enterprise gift card and recognized in our annual report. Donate now to send your gift.

Planned Giving: The Legacy Society
Making a commitment to Enterprise through your will or other estate plans is an effective way to ensure that critical services are provided to low-income families for generations to come.  A legacy gift allows you to keep your assets during your lifetime, while taking comfort in the knowledge that you have made a commitment to help disadvantaged children and families into the future. 

Matching Gifts
Did you know that you may be able to double your gift with the help of your employer?  Many companies offer a matching gift program – check with your business office to see if your company is one of them. By completing a simple form you may be able to double your impact.
