How to Support the Gaia Home Campaign

Gaia Home is a 501c3 public charity, in which donations may be tax deductible.* To learn how you can get involved, please contact Executive Director, Kilee Harmon. Together, we will make Gaia Home a reality.
*Please discuss with your tax advisor. Gaia Home’s EIN is 86-2620272.

Make a gift

Make a gift for the building, operations, or endowment fund. Naming opportunities are available throughout the campaign.

Make a pledge

Make a commitment to the campaign, pledged over a period of up to five years structured in a payment schedule of your choosing. You may satisfy your pledge through payments by check, credit card or direct deposit. Fill out a pledge form and help us transform end-of-life care.

If you would like to contribute via a Donor Advised Fund, please complete this Donor Gift Intention form.

Make a gift of securities

A gift of appreciated assets, such as publicly traded assets that have gained in value, offer a significant tax benefit to you and help the campaign at the same time. We are happy to assist you in transferring assets to complete your gift. Please follow these steps for a smooth transfer of assets that will make a major impact.

Make a planned gift

A planned gift or other type of deferred giving may suit your financial needs and can be structured in a variety of ways, including a will bequest, trust arrangement, or other income-producing vehicle. We will work with you and your advisors to structure a gift that best meets your tax and estate-planning needs.

Make a gift to the endowment

Gifts to our endowment will support Gaia Home in living its mission now and into the future. Gaia Home’s endowment fund qualifies for the ND’s 40% income tax credit. Businesses (C corporations, S corporations, estates, limited liability companies, trusts, and financial institutions) that pay ND income tax may take a 40% credit up to a total of $10,000. Individuals may receive a state tax credit for a contribution for $5,000 or more (lump sum or aggregate in one year). The tax credit is 40% of the charitable deduction allowed by the IRS up to a maximum credit of $10,000 per year per taxpayer or $20,000 per year per couple filing jointly*. In all of the above, the credit may be carried forward for 3 additional tax years if it cannot all be used in one year. Fill out a pledge form to the endowment to help us live our mission now and into the future.

*Please discuss with your tax advisor. Gaia Home’s EIN is 86-2620272.

Other ways to give

The campaign welcomes many types of gifts, such as real estate, personal property, and required minimum distributions (RMDs) from IRAs. Please contact us about our guidelines for accepting these and other donations.

Campaign Goal

Gaia Home is more than just a building. It is the people, the vision, the cause. It’s creating a new option for end-of-life care that currently doesn’t exist in our community. This campaign will raise the funds to accomplish all of these things. With a campaign goal of $12M, we will fund proposed phase 1 construction of several residential units and the Gaia Home main lodge, provide start-up costs to begin offering care, and begin an endowment fund to support the mission now and into the future.
