Make a donation

It is our job to make sure that every dollar donated to EmpowerTech 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 Joanne at 310-338-1597 to make a contribution with your Visa, Discover or MasterCard. Give by Mail. Mail your check out to EmpowerTech and mail it to:

EmpowerTech
Attn: Joanne Orenski
6234 W. 87th Street
Los Angeles, CA 90045

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, JoanElaine Anderson, at 310-338-1597.

Planned Gifts

A planned or deferred gift enables you to create a way to support the mission of EmpowerTech 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 our Executive Director, JoanElaine bAnderson at 310-338-1597.
