Seed Programs International welcomes donations of stock and other securities. Of course, such donations provide major support in our work to help people grow food. But for donors, this strategy also has benefits. As stated by CNN Money, "It's a win-win situation: charitable organizations get a nice contribution (they usually sell shares immediately), while donors can write off the gift and avoid paying capital gains taxes on the stock gains . . . The strategy has been around for some time, but after waning during the financial crisis, it's gained popularity again in recent years as the stock market has roared back to life." Because electronic transfers are made without donor information, please tell us of your upcoming intention to donate stock, and number of shares you plan to give.

Donate Your Vehicle
When you donate your vehicle to Seed Programs International, your generous gift helps fight hunger around the world by giving vegetable seeds so people can grow the food they need. Incredibly, with each $100 in vehicle value, SPI can give enough seed for people to grow a full ton of fresh vegetables.
Vehicle donation pick-up through CARS is always free to you, and most vehicles can be picked up within 24-72 hours. You'll receive an initial car donation receipt upon pick-up and then the CARS team will work to turn your car into cash to support our cause. Once your vehicle is sold, we will provide you proper tax forms in time to file.
