The Foundation will send you a gift acknowledgement which serves as verification and receipt for the securities transfer for your records.
Make a gift in person
If it is convenient for you to make a gift in person, please visit Fairport Baptist Homes and ask the receptionist to call Ellen Bevan, Director of Advancement or Laurie Pincus, Developement Associate who will be happy to meet with you.
Matching Gifts
Many employers offer matching gift programs and will match the charitable contributions made by their employees. Inquire with your Human Resources Department as to whether your employer will match a tax-deductible contribution to the Fairport Baptist Homes Foundation. If your company is eligible, there may be paperwork to fill out on both sides, by you the contributor, by the employer and by the Fairport Baptist Homes Foundation. Procedures vary by employer, but the Foundation staff will assist in making the process a smooth one. Inquire today!
