We provide below many ways for you to donate. Please feel free to email staff@80-20ef.org for any help, including if you need to make corrections after you submitted PayPal donations, etc.
Many banks now integrate with Zelle, allowing you to issue instant payment (under $5000) to any Zelle account (identified by a phone number or an email address).
Please donate to the Zelle account: sbw@80-20.org
The first time you donate, please email staff@80-20ef.org with your name and address which we will use for tax-receipt purposes.
5. Use checks
For large ($1000+) donations, using checks instead of PayPal can save us significant fees.
Please write your check:
make it payable to "80-20 EF"
include your email in memo line (or email staff@80-20ef.org in advance)
mail to:
Katy Woo
939 Beach Dr. NE, Apt 910
St Petersburg, FL 33701
6. Stock donation
Consider donating stocks which gained huge appreciation, instead of a check.
You don't pay "Capital Gains" tax on the large appreciation, while deducting the full market value of the stock as donation in your IRS filing.
