WAYS TO GIVE
Giving with purpose, changing lives
Your generosity makes a difference. Every gift to the Goodwin Living Foundation helps support programs that enrich lives, provide essential services and ensure that residents, team members and the wider community have access to the care and opportunities they deserve.
Ways to give
The Goodwin Living Foundation depends on valuable support from people like you to make all of our programs possible. We gratefully accept donations in many forms and work to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Gifts of stock or securities
Donating appreciated stocks or securities can provide tax benefits while supporting our mission. If you are interested, call 703-824-1200 to learn more.
Qualified charitable distributions
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a distribution of funds from your IRA directly to a qualified charitable organization. Because the gift goes directly to charity without passing through your hands, the dollar amount of the gift may be excluded from your taxable income up to a maximum of $105,000 annually, with some exceptions. Please contact your tax advisor for information. Please note that because Goodwin Living Foundation’s IRS tax-exempt status is that of a supporting organization, the Goodwin Living Foundation cannot directly accept a QCD gift. However, if you wish to make a QCD gift, QCDs need to be made payable to “Goodwin Living”, which itself is a qualified charitable organization (Tax ID #: 54-0623670). These gifts will ultimately be allocated to support the Goodwin Living Foundation.
Your gift, your legacy
A legacy gift ensures your impact continues for generations to come. By including the Goodwin Living Foundation in your estate plans, you help provide lasting support for older adults and caregivers. Whether through a bequest, charitable trust or beneficiary designation, your future gift strengthens our mission and extends your generosity beyond a lifetime.
Honor a loved one
Celebrate and honor a loved one by making a donation in their name. We will notify the honoree or their family of your thoughtful contribution.
Turn your car into a gift
Donating a vehicle is a simple way to support the Goodwin Living Foundation. We accept cars, trucks and other vehicles, whether they are running or not. Proceeds from your donation help sustain vital programs and services.
Contact a Foundation team member at 703-824-1200 or email Giving@GoodwinLiving.org to learn how easy it is to make a difference with
