Ways to Give
When it comes to Parkinson’s, movement matters.
These words have been fundamental in defining the vision for the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s—to develop and deliver movement-based programs that improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s.
However you choose to make your gift, you will have an immediate, positive impact on thousands of people fighting this degenerative disease.
You can make a gift online with a credit card, bank transfer, PayPal, or Venmo.
We would be happy to discuss your goals and the tax benefits of giving. Please call Mark Roberts, Director of Development, at (313) 823-2317.
Make check payable to “Kirk Gibson Foundation” and send to:
280 N. Old Woodward
Suite 106
Birmingham, MI 48009
Text GIBBY to 50155 to make a gift from your phone.
You may be eligible for a charitable deduction for the market value of the appreciated securities you donate and also avoid capital gains tax.
More and more donors are recommending grants from donor advised funds (DAF).
Celebrate a loved one or friend by making a gift in memory of them or to honor them. Their name will be included in our annual Honor Roll of Donors.
You can support generations of people with Parkinson’s by naming the foundation a beneficiary in your will, IRA or life insurance policy.
Your or your spouse’s employer may match contributions to nonprofit organizations. This could double or triple your gift. Please ask your Human Resources office for more information.
