Donor-advised Fund

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, allows donors to make a charitable contribution while receiving favorable tax benefits.

Gifts of Stock, Mutual Funds, or Wire Transfers

The dream of a safe, affordable home can become a reality for struggling families. A gift of stock to HODC opens doors to hope for families, seniors and people with special needs. Gifts of appreciated stock allow donors to bypass capital gains taxes and receive a charitable tax deduction.
