Choose an amount on the donate page and pay through Stripe's secure checkout. Your emailed receipt carries our EIN and states that no goods or services were provided, which is the written acknowledgment the IRS asks for on a gift of $250 or more.
A cash gift. From 2026 it can count toward the $1,000 ($2,000 joint) deduction for people who don't itemize. What counts as cash.
Give onlinePick "Give Monthly" on the donate page. The same amount goes out each month until you tell us to stop; email us and we will cancel it.
Each payment is a cash gift in the year it is charged. The 2026 deduction without itemizing.
Give monthlyOn the donate page, tick "Give in memory or in honor of someone" and type their name. If you add an email for a family member, we send them a short personal note that a gift was made, without the amount. Giving by check? Write the name on the memo line.

A cash gift, counted in the year you mail it. Receipts and the $250 rule.
Recommend a grant to NYC Honor. If your fund is at Fidelity Charitable, Schwab or BNY Mellon you can start it on our page in one step; for any other sponsor the page lists every detail they will ask for.
Money given to a donor-advised fund does not count toward the new $1,000 ($2,000 joint) deduction for people who don't itemize.
Give from a DAFAsk your IRA custodian to send a gift straight to NYC Honor. The page has a calculator for your required minimum distribution and the words to use with your custodian. Custodians set mid-December cutoffs, so start by early December.
Up to $111,000 per person for 2026. The gift never counts as income, so it helps whether or not you itemize.
Give from an IRASponsor a team's season, a year of the free money course, or a tournament trip. Sponsors are acknowledged by name and logo. A board member answers you personally, usually within two days. Wire transfers are arranged by email.
Your tax professional can confirm how a sponsorship is treated for your business.

The foundation's treasurer and secretary are affiliated with Sirmium Capital, the 2026 season's founding sponsor. Sponsorships are acknowledged, never compensated with promotion.
$5,000 carries one team's full season: travel, uniforms and tournament entry. Players are charged nothing to play, and every athlete can take our money course at no cost.
