Make a difference.
SHIM’s work relies on one thing. You. Your generous gifts power the work that helps our struggling neighbors.
Thanks to you:
• Worried parents put food on the table
• Women in crisis avoid eviction
• Teen refugee students achieve success in school and the workplace
Together, we served more than 4,000 people last year. But there’s so much more we can do. Please join us to make the South Hills better than ever.
Other ways to give
Gift of stock
Give a gift of stock
Giving a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is another impactful way to support SHIM and may provide a greater tax benefit than giving cash.
Your donation of securities is eligible for a tax deduction and helps you avoid or reduce capital gains taxes and brokerage fees. For more information on potential tax advantages, please consult with your financial advisor. Gifts of securities can easily be made by asking your broker to arrange a transfer to SHIM’s account at LPL Financial. Please provide your broker with this information.
