Every day, we channel the contributions we receive
into healing, addiction and trauma recovery, and advocacy
for victims of exploitation. We rely on the generosity of
foundations and caring individuals for our very survival.
It is only with your help that we can provide children, youth,
women, and men with the support and care needed to survive
and escape sexual exploitation. Through the unity and power
of all our collective resources we can continue to change
lives and work towards a world free from trafficking, violence
and sexual abuse of women and children.
We greatly value each dollar of each donation we receive,
and we have been very cost-efficient. SAGE spends less than
one-fifth of our funds on administration. The vast majority
is allocated directly to SAGE services and advocacy.
Please consider giving a gift of money, stock, supplies or
the greatest gift of all, your time, commitment and love.
There are donation options for every interest and budget.

Many companies have matching gift programs through which they
will match charitable contributions made by their employees.
Matching gifts multiply your gift to SAGE. Ask your employer
if you have such a program where you work.
You can contribute to SAGE at your workplace through the United
Way. Simply write in SAGE and our donor code #3278 on the
United Way form and your donation will be deducted from your
paycheck.
If you are interested in donating a used vehicle to SAGE,
please call Volunteers of America at (510) 567-1117
and tell them that you want to donate your car on behalf of SAGE. They
will pick up the car, handle the paperwork, sell the car and
give the proceeds to SAGE.

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can donate
clothes, furniture and other items to the Community Thrift
Store. Mention SAGE and our account #134, and we will receive
cash from your donation. Community Thrift Store will pick
up donations or you can drop them off.
Many supporters cannot give a large amount all at once. You
can make a one-time donation or become a SAGE Sustainer by
donating smaller amounts each month. By making a pledge to
give monthly, you allow us to plan ahead, because we know
your gift will always be there. The monthly giving program
also helps us keep overhead costs down. Even a few dollars
a month makes an enormous difference.
Some donors provide for SAGE through some form of estate planning,
whether through a bequest (a gift of cash, stock or property
through a will) or a charitable remainder trust (a gift through
a trust agreement established while the donor is still living).
Donors can also name SAGE as a beneficiary of a life insurance
policy or a retirement plan. Every gift, large and small,
will help ensure that SAGE can continue to help women and
girls create healthy lives for themselves.
SAGE accepts gifts of securities, including shares of both
publicly and privately held corporations, stock options and
shares of mutual funds. A gift of appreciated securities held
for more than one year may bring significant tax benefits
to the donor.
Consulting with your qualified estate planner, attorney and/or
financial manager can help you make the best decision about
supporting SAGE through planned giving.
