GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about giving
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Leaving The Jar is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 37-1476325). Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you will receive an emailed receipt.
Can I give monthly?
Yes. Choose "Monthly" on the donation form. To change or cancel a monthly gift at any time, use our contact form and we will take care of it.
Where does my money go?
87.2% of our spending goes directly to programs: prevention training, student scholarships, and survivor restoration. Our leadership is all-volunteer, so no gift pays a founder's salary. See our Transparency page for the details.
Can I give to a specific program?
Yes. Use the “Give to a specific need” options above for Egypt students, a Well of Hope room, or Well of Hope essentials, or add a note with any gift. Gifts without a designation go where the need is greatest.
Does it cost anything to give through Zeffy/Every?
Zeffy/Every charges Leaving The Jar nothing, so your full gift reaches our programs. Zeffy/Every may suggest an optional tip to support its own platform; you can set it to $0.
Can my employer match my gift?
Many do, and gifts you've already made often count. Type your employer into the matching checker near the top of this page to see your match and exactly how to claim it.
Can I give stock, crypto, or through a donor-advised fund?
Yes. Use the options above; they are processed securely by Every.org, our giving partner.
Can I give from outside the U.S.?
Yes. Card and crypto gifts work from most countries, and you will still get an emailed receipt. Tax benefits depend on where you pay taxes: gifts are deductible in the U.S., and U.S./UK dual taxpayers can give through CAF America. Checks can be mailed to Leaving The Jar, 14001-C St Germain Dr, Unit 151, Centreville, VA 20121. For a larger gift or a bank wire, reach out through our contact form and we will help.
Will you share my information?
We do not sell or trade donor information. We share information with service providers as needed to process gifts, answer requests, and support our work. See our Privacy Policy.
