AMY Wellness Foundation recognizes the increased needs our community members are facing as a result of the pandemic. In addition to our grant opportunities, we invite community members to donate their stimulus check or tax refund check to an area in need of their choosing. AMY Wellness Foundation will match a percent of your gift to your area of choice.
Many people are in need financially amid the pandemic, and the $600 stimulus check is a huge help. For others, the stimulus check is a bonus they may not need. Some people are choosing to donate their stimulus check to support those in need in their community. AMY Wellness Foundation would like to help individuals in need by matching any stimulus check donated to AMY Wellness Foundation. We are also offering the same match for tax refund checks as well.
Donate $600 = AMY will add $100 to the area of your choosing
Donate $1,200 = AMY will add $200 to the area of your choosing
Donate $2,400 = AMY will add $400 to the area of your choosing
*To receive the match from AMYWF, please mark your designation for Mental Health, Housing, or Food Insecurity and add a comment “Redirect your check”.*
AMY Wellness Foundation is deeply grateful for the incredible generosity of our resource development partners.
Through our increased impact program, donors are able to support a health area of their interest by which
AMYWF will “match” a percentage of the dollar amount of the donation provided by gifting funds to the same
cause, therefore increasing the donors’ impact.
A matching gift is a great way to give to a health area of interest by which AMY will “match” a percent of the dollar amount of the donation provided by gifting of its own funds to the same cause.
Case based matching gifts are specified for a certain area AMYWF is seeking support for. For example, if you give a gift to a specific health area (e.g. transportation), AMYWF will then also give a percent to the same health area during the upcoming grant cycle.
You may designate your gift more specifically to a funding area of interest. You may be even more specific than a general health area. For example, make a matching gift to fight childhood hunger in a specific county or a specific town, or make a matching gift for transportation in a specific county or a specific town.
As we grow to better serve our greater community, resource development partnerships are key to our success and that of our grant partners. There are many additional ways to give back through AMY Wellness Foundation:
Donations given to AMY Wellness Foundation directly support organizations working to improve the health and wellness of our community members in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey counties. Whether it is $1 or $1,000, every gift makes a positive impact.
AMYWF accepts gifts through stocks and securities. Electronic transfer information can be shared with your broker, or you can reach out to the AMYWF staff.
Planned Giving or Legacy Giving is a contribution made beyond the donor’s lifetime. This method of giving can include Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Lead Trust, Life Insurance, Real Estate, Retirement Account Assets or Payable-on-Death (POD) Accounts.
