How can you support SCA?

Recurring Donations from a Bank Account or Credit Card

To set up a recurring monthly donation, please fill out our Monthly Giving form.

EarthShare (Payroll Deduction Program)

SCA is a member of EarthShare, the workplace giving alliance of America's major environmental organizations, as well as the state affiliates in Washington and California. (See a full list of EarthShare affiliates here.) Federal and state employees as well as those of corporations that facilitate EarthShare campaigns can donate to SCA through payroll deductions.

If your corporation has a workplace campaign but does not give access to EarthShare, please contact SCA's Annual Fund Department for assistance. If you would like to promote SCA as part of your workplace campaign, we would be glad to assist in that as well.

Securities

Stock held in electronic form can normally be transferred electronically. For Annual Fund contributions, please instruct your broker to transfer the shares to SCA by NH DTC #0201 using SCA’s A.G. Edwards Account #5961-7769. Stocks held in certificate form require special handling. If you are using stock to establish a charitable gift annuity, please contact Hugh Montgomery at SCA for a different set of transfer instructions. Please notify Hugh before you initiate any stock transfer so we can ensure a smooth process and proper acknowledgement of your contribution.

(Note: Gifts of securities and mutual fund shares may take several weeks or more to process. Please be sure to allow adequate time to complete the transaction, especially in December as the end of the tax year approaches.)

Planned Giving Opportunities

SCA offers a variety of options for planned giving, including cash, stock or mutual funds, real estate, collectibles, life insurance policies, IRAs and qualified retirement plans. Go to our Planned Giving page to view the full range of opportunities, or download a legacy and gift planning package now.

SCA’s fiscal prudence ranks us among the top of America’s charities, earning us an A- rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy, the highest 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, and SCA meets all standards set by the Council of Better Business Bureau Philanthropic Advisory Service.
