Support AFW

Make a donation

It is our job to make sure that every dollar donated to Angel Flight West produces the maximum possible benefit to the people we serve. It's a responsibility we take very seriously. Only about 15% of our budget is used for management and fundraising expenses. (Some other nonprofit organizations spend 35% or more for these purposes.) The rest goes directly to support the thousands of missions we fly each year.

There are many ways for you to give.

CASH GIFTS

• Give Online. Use your Visa or MasterCard credit card on our secure server.
• Give by Phone. Call Emmet O'Conlon at 310-390-2958 to make a contribution with your Visa or MasterCard.

A matching gift from your employer can multiply the value of your donation. Please check with your Human Resources department to find out if your company participates in gift-matching programs.

TRIBUTE GIFTS

Whether you give online, over the phone, or through the mail, you can make a tribute gift to celebrate a birthday or wedding, as a memorial, or for any other occasion. We'll send a special card directly to the recipient of your tribute that informs them of your gift in their honor.

GIFTS OF STOCKS AND VALUABLES

Appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds; vehicles; jewelry; artwork; antiques; real estate; and other valuables can make excellent charitable gifts. We would be happy to discuss your philanthropic goals and suggest how you might best achieve them. Please e-mail or call our Executive Director, Alan M. Dias, at 310-390-2958.

PLANNED GIFTS

A planned or deferred gift enables you to create a way to support the mission of Angel Flight West well into the future. In addition, a planned gift may enable you to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated property, increase your current income, and realize a charitable deduction for current and carryover years.

You do not have to be wealthy to enjoy the satisfaction and tax advantages of a planned gift. There are a number of options available, and we can help you to set up a plan that's best for your income, assets, and charitable goals. For more information, please e-mail or call Alan M. Dias, Executive Director, at 310-390-2958.
