Ways to Give to El Jardín

There is so much that we can accomplish as a community. From recovery to food support, your gift is integral to increasing access to equitable healthcare for Latinos and Spanish-speaking individuals across Multnomah and Washington Counties. Consider any of the following ways to make an impact today!

Give Simply

Give directly to our cause with a simple one-time or monthly donation! Whether you give $5 or $50, you can help us build a more promising future for people like Aidan, rooted in recovery and grounded in culture.

Aidan has been a client for only 4 months, and in that time has met his 2nd big recovery goal: getting his Driver’s License. This may seem small, but for Aidan it opens up job opportunities with better benefits, making it easier to reach his next recovery goal: getting housing! Your support makes this possible!

Your gifts make it possible for our teams to meet people directly in the community. They connect with them in the moment, laying the groundwork for those first steps into a better future.

Maximizing Your Charitable Impact

Explore each of our giving options to determine how you can best maximize your charitable impact! Each of these options can be done individually, or can be combined for an even bigger ripple through the Latino recovery community.

  • Purchase any piece of El Jardín Swag in our Tienda today! From hoodies to totes, we offer quality products for individuals to represent our community in their everyday lives. You will receive products in the mail within 2 weeks of purchase.

  • We appreciate gifts of any size through any medium. If you or a family member would like to give by mail, please make checks payable to “NW Instituto Latino” and mailed to: PO BOX 92070, PORTLAND, OR 97292-2070. We will send you a tax-deduction receipt using the return address within two weeks.

  • A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account established with a charitable sponsor (Oregon Community Foundation, Community Foundation of SW Washington, Fidelity Charitable, etc.). A DAF is set up for the sole purpose of supporting charities. The sponsor manages and administers individual DAF accounts including asset management and gift disbursement and helps the donor assess community investment opportunities and connect with the people, causes, and needs that align with their charitable interests.  

    DAFs have become the most popular tax-efficient way to conduct charitable giving in the United States. They are an excellent way to simplify your giving, maximize your community impact, and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals. 

    To recommend a grant to El Jardín Recovery Centers through your Donor-Advised Fund, you will need to provide your charitable sponsor with the following information: 

    • EJRC’s EIN#: 85-0688193

    • Checks should be payable to “NW Instituto Latino” and mailed to: PO BOX 92070, PORTLAND, OR 97292-2070

    • Please include the DAF fund name, donor’s name, and donor’s preferred contact information with the payment so that we can accurately recognize the grant. 

    The Benefits of DAF Donations

    1. Improve Tax Efficiencies: Contributions to DAFs are an immediate tax deduction, and any growth in your DAF assets are tax-free.  

    2. Simplify Your Giving: Contribute to your DAF at any time, earn tax-free interest on your assets, and choose when to disburse funds to charitable organizations.  DAF sponsors handle all due diligence, reporting, tax receipts, and account administration to simplify your philanthropy.  

    3. Increase Flexibility: DAFs can accept a wide range of assets as contributions, including cash, stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrencies.

    4. Build Your Legacy: You can also build your legacy by naming Meals on Wheels People as a beneficiary for all or a percentage of your DAF. Contact your fund administrator for more information. 

    5. Maximize Your Impact: A DAF gives you the opportunity to make larger gifts to the charities you care about at your own pace.
