Did you know that RPB accepts donations via Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), Stocks or Other Securities, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), and Cryptocurrency?
Many donors choose to give tax-smart gifts of assets through these methods. And, we’ve now made it even easier with our new Smart Giving Tools! Make a donation securely and effectively through one of these methods now. Or, read on below for more information on each type of giving.

This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used, and notifies RPB of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs. Give from my DAF.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify RPB of your gift.
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts. Give from my IRA.
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits. Give Cryptocurrency.
If you prefer to make a donation using your broker, please reference our EIN: 13-1945117.
