Ask your workplace about an employee giving program. DRC accepts donations through companies' payroll giving programs. This allows for reoccuring tax-deducatiable donation made to DRC that are unrestricted and can be used to support our mission.
Many employers also offer a matching program if an employee donates to a non-profit. This means your donation could potentially double. Ask your employer about your options.
