There are so many ways that you can make a difference this holiday season. No matter which you choose, your year-end gift will help children, especially girls, to have a safer and healthier 2025. We hope this guide will make it easier to find the one that’s the right fit for you!
Make a one-time donation to support the future girls want
Your gift today will help to support children, especially girls, and communities around the world. Together, we’re fighting to build a better future where every child is free to reach their full potential. We won’t stop, until we’re all equal.
Prefer to give through the mail? You can also send your donation by mail to Plan International P.O. Box 9747 Providence, RI 02940.
Give a Gift of Hope
Supporting equality and positive change is important. It can also be fun! When you explore the all-new holiday Gifts of Hope catalog, you’ll find family favorites like farm animals and gifts of life-changing education for girls and young people in vulnerable communities. Gifts of Hope are great examples of what’s possible when caring friends like you give gifts from the heart to help create sustainable change and address the root causes of poverty and inequality. A Gift of Hope is also a great way to celebrate the people in your life who care about making a difference as much as you do — and it’s a perfect gift for anyone on your list who says they don’t need or want anything this holiday season. Simply browse our online catalog to find gifts that can help to create sustainable change for children around the world. Then, select an e-card after checkout to let your loved one know that you donated in their name.
Send your sponsored child a gift they will treasure!
Every child should experience the magic of opening a present that’s just for them. With Little Treasures, you can send a special gift that will brighten your sponsored child’s holiday season — and your own.
Not a sponsor? When you sponsor a child with Plan International, you have the opportunity to develop a meaningful connection with a determined child or young person, while helping to improve the community and resources surrounding them.
Tax-smart giving options
Donor-advised fund If you have a donor-advised fund, there’s never been a better time to turn your charitable dollars into impact! A gift from your donor-advised fund will go to work immediately, helping to create a better future for all of us.
IRA charitable rollover If you’re over 70 ½ years old, you can maximize the tax benefit of your charitable contributions through an IRA charitable rollover. Transferring a portion of your IRA directly to Plan reduces your taxable income and makes a difference at the same time!
Gifts of stock If you’ve held your stock for more than a year and it’s appreciated in value, giving the stock directly to Plan can save you money. You’ll avoid any potential capital gains tax and increase the impact of your gift by up to 20%! And, when you donate appreciated stock, you can still claim an income tax deduction up to the full fair market value of the gift.
Create your legacy A gift in your will or trust to Plan ensures that we continue to work with girls and their communities toward better futures. If you’ve remembered Plan in your estate plans, or made Plan the beneficiary of your retirement or life insurance account, now is a great time to let us know. Notify us of your gift.
If you’d like your gift to go even further…
Did you know that your gift to Plan could be matched by your employer? It’s a quick and easy way to maximize the impact of your contributions. Check to see if your employer will match your gift here!
Want to make an even bigger impact?
With an endowed sponsorship, you can provide support for one child and family at a time, for generations to come. Endow your sponsorship with a one-time gift, through installments or with a legacy commitment through your will or trust. No matter how you choose to give, you’ll be investing in a brighter future for children around the world — and building a lasting legacy.
