Online Giving
There are many different ways to help. We always appreciate contributions toward the operating expenses and/or specific programs of Haywood Pathways Center. You can make one time or monthly contributions by mail or online through your church or organization, and/or in response to periodic mail/email appeals. We hope you will also attend events and fundraisers throughout the year to support us in our efforts.
Many of our guests come to us with only the clothing on their backs. Your donations of toiletries, clothing, and laundry detergent, for example, restore dignity and boost self-esteem.

There you will also find a link to our Amazon wish list if you prefer to directly ship donations to Pathways.

QCD from an IRA
Did you know that if you are age 70 ½ or above you can make a donation to Haywood Pathways Center directly from your IRA?
Such gifts are known as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) and allow you to potentially realize a tax savings while making a charitable gift to Pathways.
This program allows you to have your IRA manager contribute directly from your IRA to Pathways thus meaning the gift does not count as part of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for that year. For more information check with your IRA administrator or contact Parker at 828-246-0332 or director@haywoodpathways.org.
Gifts of Securities
Consider gifting appreciated securities, such as stocks. Your gift of appreciated securities can provide you with significant tax and financial benefits, such as bypassing capital gains taxes and providing a valuable income tax deduction. If you are interested in this option:
– Decide which stock and the number of shares you wish to transfer to Haywood Pathways Center.
– Provide written instructions to your broker to deliver those shares to the account that has been established for Haywood Pathways Center
– Copy your letter of instruction to Parker at director@haywoodpathways.org
