We’re helping our donors make the most of their giving as the holiday giving season approaches. Here are a few deadlines to keep in mind:


Publicly traded securities
can take up to two weeks to process. We suggest initiating the contribution by Dec. 13 and notifying us at investmentteam@growyourgiving.org. Assets must be received by Dec. 31.

 

 

For wire and ACH transfers, we suggest initiating the contribution by Dec. 27 and notifying us at donoraccounting@growyourgiving.org. Funds must be received by Dec. 31.

 

 

Checks must be postmarked by Dec. 31. If you’re in the Kansas City area, you can drop off checks using a secure drop box outside of our office.

 

In your notification, please include your fund name, your six-digit fund ID and a description of the contribution. Contribution instructions are available at www.growyourgiving.org/contribute.

 

Please submit your year-end grant requests as soon as possible to allow for ample processing and delivery time. The United States Postal Service announced new standards for delivery which may result in delays.
