Fund A Classroom

Our prevention education curriculum is designed to give K-12 students the tools they need to make better choices as they head into their teenage years.

Prevention is key to ending deaths caused by overdose, and we need your support to make this possible. By giving children the tools they need to make informed decisions, we can create a safer and healthier future for all.

Stock

Did you know that when you donate stock, you avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? When you give stock, you may earn 2-3x the tax savings vs. donating cash. It’s a win-win for you and us. And now it’s fast, safe and easy to do.

Emilys Hope Inc. has partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. Our DonateStock page https://donatestock.com/emilys-hope-inc enables you to donate stock from your brokerage directly to our account through a secure portal, making the gifting process fast, safe and easy.

So remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash. By giving stock, your support will have even greater impact—without denting your pocketbook. Give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.
