Cancer Research Institute - Ways to Donate to Cancer Research Institute - 0 views

  • Cash gifts: The most convenient way to give to CRI.  You can donate online securely or by phone with your credit card, or you can mail a check to us made payable to "Cancer Research Institute." Memorial & tribute gifts: Donating to cancer research in memory of a loved one, in support of another's courageous battle with cancer, or in honor of any occasion can be a thoughtful and appropriate way to remember others. Employer matching gifts: Employer matching gift programs can increase your giving to CRI by double or more. Our convenient employer MatchFinder will allow you to see if your employer matches your charitable donations. Securities donations: Gifts of stocks, bonds, and other securities can be of significant benefit to our programs while also providing you tax advantages. Car and other vehicle donations: Donate an old car or vehicle (boat, campers, etc.).  We'll arrange to have your vehicle picked up, and the proceeds from the sale of your used vehicle will benefit our research programs. Planned giving options: Naming CRI in your will or estate plans, including charitable annuities and trusts as well as life insurance and retirement plan gifts, can offer both you and CRI significant financial advantages. Payroll deduction: Employees can provide ongoing support through regular payroll deductions, especially if their companies provide matching gifts.
