Four smart giving options
Rather than donating cash, many of our donors are opting for smarter giving—non-cash options that not only support our mission but also offer a variety of tax benefits. Click the link below to learn more about giving stocks, cryptocurrency, gifts from your IRA, and making a grant from a donor-advised fund.

Save taxes by donating stocks!
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and you can get the tax savings you deserve.
If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify Northwest Maritime of your gift.

Save on taxes by giving from your IRA
If you’re 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork, and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Easily make a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. The secure DAF link below:
- Automatically links with your DAF
- Allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used
- Notifies Northwest Maritime of your intentions
Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
We now accept Cryptocurrency donations!
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.

Non-Probate Assets
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
