Donate Other Ways

You can help support the mission at Good Karma Bikes by donating in other ways.

​

• Gift of Stock
  Giving appreciated stocks immediately adds a tax advantage over making the same gift in cash.
  
  The income-tax benefit is identical to that of cash: the donor can deduct the fair market value of the gift. Giving stocks and mutual funds, however, provides that the long-term capital gain (LTCG) is not recognized on their tax return, so the donor avoids any LTCG tax due on the appreciation.

• Employer matching
  Did you know that you might be able to double—or even triple—the impact of your gift? Many employers have matching gift programs and will match any financial contribution you make.  Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Please reach out to to your company for your guidelines and request a matching gift form. Send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest.
   

• Amazon Wish List Selection
  Would you like to get something we could use in the shop but want to make sure it is needed? Select something from our wishlist on Amazon that fits your fancy and budget. Have the confidence knowing that your gift is needed in the shop today and will make an impact on the mission of empowering the community through bike transportation.
   

• Facebook Fundraiser
  You can create a fundraiser for Good Karma Bikes on your personal Facebook page. Either for your birthday, an honor or tribute fundraiser- you can invite your friends to contribute to providing affordable transportation for anyone in need.
   

• "If You Give a Girl a Bike"

An inspiring story empowering young girls to have the confidence to do all the same things that boys do - encouraging them to be adventurous and to not shy away from a challenge.
