Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts to a nonprofit are donations made to recognize, honor and celebrate people and events that are important to you. These gifts are a meaningful way to honor life while supporting a cause or organization they cared about or were connected to.
Common Types of Tribute Gifts:
Monetary Donations – A straightforward donation made in tribute of someone, often directed toward a specific program or general operations of the nonprofit.
Named Funds or Endowments – Establishing a named fund or contributing to an endowment in tribute, to create a lasting legacy.
Sponsorships or Dedications – Funding a specific project, event, or item (e.g., a bench, tree, or scholarship) that is dedicated in the person’s memory.
In-Kind Donation – Providing goods or services in memory of the deceased, such as books, equipment, or artwork.
