Tribute Gift

Honor Loved Ones. Create Lasting Impact.

Tribute gifts to nonprofits are a meaningful way to recognize, honor, and celebrate the people, milestones, and events that matter most in your life. These special donations not only pay tribute to a loved one or commemorate a life event—they also strengthen the mission of the nonprofit you support, allowing their legacy to live on through positive community impact.

When you give a tribute or memorial gift, you create a bridge between honoring personal connections and advancing a cause that was close to someone’s heart. Whether celebrating a birthday, wedding, or anniversary, or remembering the life of a loved one, your tribute gift ensures that their story continues through charitable giving.

Types of Tribute Gifts

Monetary Donations
A straightforward way to honor someone’s memory or achievements is through a financial contribution. Tribute donations can be designated for a nonprofit’s general operations or directed to a specific program that reflects the individual’s passions and values.
Named Funds or Endowments
Establishing a named fund or tribute endowment creates a lasting legacy. These gifts ensure continued support for vital nonprofit programs year after year, turning your tribute into a long-term source of hope and impact.
Sponsorship or Dedication

Tribute gifts can also take the form of a sponsorship or dedication, such as funding a community project, sponsoring an event, or dedicating a physical item like a memorial bench, tree, scholarship, or program fund. These visible tributes create a meaningful, lasting reminder of the person you wish to honor.

In Kind Donations
Tribute giving isn’t limited to monetary gifts. Donating items or services in memory of someone—such as books for a library, equipment for a program, or artwork for a community space—provides tangible, lasting benefits that honor their life in unique and personal ways.
