New Program Endowment

Every day at NorthLakes, we see the worries people have. Yes, about their health. But also about food, housing, child care, and fulfilling basic needs.

That’s why we created the NorthLakes New Program Endowment—to fund programs that help people overcome the everyday struggles that stand in the way of their health and well-being.

Other Ways of Giving

Sustaining gifts are automatically charged to the credit or debit card of your choice every month. The easiest and most convenient way to increase the impact of your gift to NorthLakes. Your support will continue at the same amount until you tell us differently, and you can make a change or cancel at any time. To enroll, select the time period on the donation schedule when making your gift.

Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations. When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Ask your employer if they match gifts.

Donor-advised funds are charitable giving accounts, offered by community foundations, Fidelity Investments, and other sponsoring organizations, that are designed to be accessible, simple, and less expensive alternatives to setting up a private foundation. Put your money in, let the sponsoring institution manage it, and then you make a donation. There is much to like about DAFs since they provide easy donating plus a possible charitable tax deduction.

A gift to NorthLakes is a wonderful way to honor a special occasion or to celebrate a life. A letter notifying the honored or the family of the deceased will be sent immediately upon receipt of your gift. The amount of the gift will not be disclosed. Make a tribute gift online or by mail (note in the memo field) If you would like tribute/memorial envelopes for memorials or events, please email northlakesdevelopment@nlccwi.org.

These gifts receive a tax deduction based on the value of the security on the date of the gift. With long-term appreciated securities (those held longer than twelve months), you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full, fair-market value of your gift and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.
