Supporting the Ignatian Volunteer Corps
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) depends on individuals, corporations, and foundations to support Ignatian Volunteers working in community agencies and programs that provide housing and shelter, emergency assistance, education, child care, immigrant and refugee services, healthcare, hospice care, counseling, job training, and personal support to children, families, and adults who are poor and marginalized.
Your gifts help Ignatian Volunteers meet the needs of people who are materially poor in urban areas across the country, including Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New England, New York City/Northern New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Omaha, Philadelphia, San Diego, St. Louis, Syracuse and Washington DC/Metro Maryland.
Every gift is used to recruit, train, place, and support Ignatian Volunteers – men and women age 50 and better – living out their Gospel call to be men and women for others. Today, 253 Ignatian Volunteers are serving 213 community agencies and programs in thirteen regional programs across the country.
There are several ways you can support the Ignatian Volunteer Corps.
Personal Gifts
You may make a credit card donation online through Network for Good.
IVC also accepts checks and cash. Please print this form, fill it out and mail it with your donation to:
Ignatian Volunteer Corps
801 St. Paul Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
You can designate your gift to IVC National or to one of our sixteen regional programs.
Matching Gifts
IVC participates in matching gift programs with employers across the country. Please check with your employer to see if your gift qualifies, and send any necessary paperwork with your gift to IVC.
Estate Gifts
You may wish to support IVC today and in the future. Legacy gifts can be created by including IVC in your will or by naming IVC as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Your financial advisor or attorney can give more information about these and other ways to make a gift that will benefit you and your family.
Stock Gifts
We prefer gifts of stock to IVC be made via electronic transfer, rather than mailing actual stock certificates.
If you are giving a security, please verify with your broker that the stock is eligible for electronic delivery over the Depository Trust Company (DTC) system. This works for most stocks, but some securities have specific transfer instructions.
Please note that we will liquidate all donations of securities as soon as possible. The date of your gift is the date on which your electronic transfer is received into the IVC account. The tax-deductible value of your gift is the average share price on the date of your gift multiplied by the number of shares given.
