Help Strengthen the next Generation

There are multiple ways to Help SupPort young Adults on the path to stability

Cash, Check & Credit Card Donations

There are tenants who arrive at CHILL in need of the most basic necessities. You can donate by using this form online, sending in a check to SCAN’s main office (500 W. Main St., Fort Wayne, IN 46835), or by contacting SCAN’s Department of Philanthropy by phone at (260) 421-5000.

Gifts of Stock

Giving stocks and other securities may offer better tax benefits than a gift of cash. If you are interested in making a gift of stock, please contact Dee Szyndrowski or 260-421-5000.

Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs to employees. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double the amount of your gift! If your employer requires an Employer Identification Number (EIN), please use 83-2065848

Planned Giving

You can make a lasting difference to the young people CHILL serves with a charitable gift in your will or estate plan. Contact your financial advisor, lawyer, or accountant, and ask for help in establishing a charitable gift. If you have questions about our planned giving program, please contact us at (260) 421-5000.

Qualified Charitable Distribution

Taking money out of an IRA to give to charity is known as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), and it may help you with your taxes. You can use QCDs when you’re taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) in retirement. QCDs are not included in taxable income for any RMD up to $100,000 after age 70.5.  Instead of receiving the RMD and then donating it, the QCD is a direct transfer. The receipt of the RMD followed by the donation makes it a deduction. A QCD is not a deduction, but rather a direct, non-taxable transfer. Because it’s a direct transfer, it is not subject to the higher standard deduction limits under Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA 2018). Check with your financial advisor to see if this method of giving is right for you.
