Is my gift tax-deductible?
100% of the donation qualifies as a charitable gift. You will immediately receive an email confirming the deduction from the St. Louis Community Foundation.

Please save this email for your records. By selecting a specific charity to receive your donation, your gift is restricted for that charity, and it will not be given to any other charity.

How much of my donation goes to the nonprofit?
The St. Louis Community Foundation does not keep any portion of your gift.

Can I schedule my gift in advance?
Yes! Visit the website if you would like to pre-schedule your gift.

Is there a benefit to donating ON GiveSTL Day?
Yes — there are certain hours called “Power Hours” with certain incentives and matches associated for all donations given at that time. Those donations are potentially worth a bit more for the nonprofit, and pre-scheduled donations do not count toward these Power Hour incentives. Power Hours for 2020 are as follows:
6-7am, 9-10am, 12-1pm, 6-7pm, and 10-11pm
