More Ways to Support MHALA
In-Kind Gifts
We are often in need of personal hygiene products, hats, underwear, socks, sleeping bags, towels, and sun screen. We need more water in the summer months and more winter clothes during colder months.
Members who are able to secure housing need small household and kitchen items, as well as bed linens and towels.
To donate material goods, please contact MHALA's Development Department at development@mhala.org.
Memorials and Tributes
Remembrance gifts go directly toward the services and programs we provide our members in L.A. County.
When you make a gift in memory of a loved one, you can provide an individual in your community with a life-changing opportunity to recover from their mental health challenges.
You may also choose to make a donation in celebration of someone’s birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. The gift of helping others can be the best gift of all.
Stock Gifts
Stock gifts can have significant tax advantages for the giver.
As you consider a gift of stock, let us know when and how we can expect to receive your donation. Standard stock transfer procedures do not often include information about the sender, so it can be hard to track who made the gift.
You may choose to give a gift of stock in one of two ways:
- Stock certificates can be mailed directly to MHALA. Contact MHALA's Development Department at development@mhala.org for a copy of the forms needed to make a paper transfer.
- A broker can transfer stock directly to an MHALA account. MHALA’s broker is Natalie Perez at Gamble Jones Investment Counsel (626-795-7583). The DTC number is 0164, code 40.
MHALA will average the high and low prices of the stock on the date that we receive it. The gift will be valued at the average price in accordance with federal tax laws. Note that MHALA’s Tax ID number is 95-1881491.
