Ways to Give

There are many benefits to making a donation to the CDA Foundation, and your gift will make an immediate impact on lives all over California. There are several easy ways for you to contribute to our many programs designed to increase access to care to vulnerable people. For more information on the different ways of giving, please click on the following links.

One Time and Recurring Gifts

You have several choices. You can make an immediate donation with your credit card through our secure server. An Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) provides the same benefits and features of automatic payments, and can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Or, you may of course give a check made out to CDA Foundation. Any of these methods may be used as an acknowledgement for significant life events such as retirement, promotion, graduation, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or memorials.

Planned Giving

A wonderful way to help plan a meaningful gift through your estate that takes full advantage of the taxable benefits – income, capital gains, or estate – and can also help provide for you and your loved ones.

Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities

Giving a gift of appreciated stock or other financial securities allows you to take advantage of additional tax benefits from your contribution.

Establish Own Endowment

Establishing an endowment is one of the most powerful ways to leave your legacy in dentistry.

Advised Funds

Through the Advised Fund Program, donors determine the type of fund that are most compatible with their circumstances and reflect their philanthropic goals.  Each gift is as individual as the donor, which is why we offer a range of giving options to help you give confidently and efficiently.
