• Bank wire transfers - Wire transfers are useful for moving funds rapidly and securely. You will typically incur a $20-$40 bank fee for sending us a wire, while AWM will have to pay an additional $10 to receive it. If you choose this method please be sure to contact us first.

  To complete a wire transfer to the Afghan Women's Mission: Please call our office at (626) 676-7884 to make arrangements.

• Transfer stock - You receive a tax deduction and offset capital gains taxes when you give stocks that have appreciated in value. Consider donating stocks that do not meet your criteria for social responsibility and we will convert them into positive action.
• Bequest - When preparing or revising your will, you can make a lasting gift to IHC/Afghan Women's Mission by designating it as a recipient of part of your estate.
• Trusts - Certain trust actions may reduce your taxes now or in the future, while supporting IHC/Afghan Women's Mission. We can work with you and/or your financial advisor to set up such an arrangement.
• Real estate and other property - You may donate any properties, residences, or even a vacation home, while retaining the right to use it during your lifetime. Gifts of real estate to IHC/Afghan Women's Mission can help you avoid eventual capital-gains or estate taxes as well as conserve the property while ensuring it's use for your future generations.
• Life insurance, IRAs or pension plans - You may list IHC/Afghan Women's Mission as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA, or pension plan. This affords tax advantages and allows you to give a larger gift than you might otherwise be able to.
• Memorial - You may honor a friend or a loved one with a memorial gift that can act on his or her beliefs. IHC/Afghan Women's Mission will use it to empower Afghan women through medical care, educational and other programs. To do so, you may use our donation form or simply let us know by including a note with your payment.
• Take advantage of employer matching funds - If your employer has a policy of matching charitable contributions your donation to IHC/Afghan Women's Mission will automatically increase.
• In-kind gifts - Goods and services, such as office equipment, printing, design capacities, photography, and other professional expertise can be extremely valuable to IHC/Afghan Women's Mission grantees. We cannot, unfortunately, generally receive goods to ship overseas. If in doubt, drop us a line.
