Checks, Credit Cards and Electronic Funds Transfers


We can accept any and all donations by check, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express) or electronic funds transfer. (Note that if you itemize your tax deductions, your contribution is fully deductible up to 50% of your adjusted gross income; any excess can be carried forward for up to five additional years.) These are great ways to make a regular pledge to Agape - you don’t have to worry about remembering to send us a check and we can keep working for peace and justice. You can arrange for monthly, quarterly or annual automatic donations. We will gladly set up a plan that is the most convenient for you.

Donate Appreciated Securities


Many donors make gifts of securities to the Agape Foundation as a way to make a contribution and avoid Capital Gains taxes. In most cases, this enables the donor to obtain a charitable income tax deduction equal to the market value of the securities at the time of transfer, for up to 30% of their adjusted gross income. The Agape Foundation has an account at Protected Investors of America where securities can be transferred directly. If you would like to join these donors, please contact us for more information.
