Estates or Trusts
Leaving a gift in your will or giving through a trust to OneSky can be your legacy. Become a philanthropic role model for your family by planning for their future while simultaneously making a lasting difference for young children of OneSky’s life-changing work.
As our work evolves and expands into new countries, unrestricted donations through bequests and trusts allow for expansion and flexibility. OneSky can provide you with suggested language to include in your estate planning, but please seek the assistance of legal counsel and your financial advisor in preparing your will. To talk with someone at OneSky, please reach out to Roberta O’Hara at roberta@onesky.org
Let us know if you have already planned for a gift to OneSky through your will or a trust. We would love to thank you!
Donor-Advised Funds
Do you have a donor-advised fund (DAF)? DAFs are a great way to manage your philanthropic giving. Working with a financial advisor, you can create a charitable investment account to manage your philanthropic contributions. When you create a DAF, you can generally take an immediate tax deduction, and your donation to the DAF continues to grow. At the same time, you decide where best to contribute your philanthropic dollars. OneSky welcomes gifts through DAFs.
Shop for OneSky
OneSky is the beneficiary of support through several brand partnerships. When you purchase products through these affiliations, you benefit the marginalized children we serve in Asia. Some of these partnerships result in a 50% return in donations to OneSky. Check out our impact partners next time you are looking for a gift. Shop for OneSky – OneSky.
Tax-Free IRA Rollovers
If you are 70 ½-years-old or older, you can make distributions from $1 to $100,000 to OneSky directly through your IRA. (Or if you and your spouse each have an IRA, you can double your contribution up to $200,000.)Gifts are tax-free. Even if you do not itemize your deductions, you benefit by removing your distribution from your taxable income. Your IRA administrator can distribute the check directly to OneSky, or you may write a check directly payable to OneSky from your IRA account. Please contact Roberta O’Hara at roberta@onesky.org if you have any questions.
Gifts of Stock
A gift of appreciated securities—such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds—are a great way to support OneSky’s work for vulnerable children. You will receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock and incur no capital gains tax subject to IRS deductible limitations. Click here to access the OneSky Stock and Securities Donation Instruction Form. Please contact donate@onesky.org for more information.
Matching Gifts & Workplace Giving
Does your employer offer a Matching Gift Program? If so, you might be able to double your donation to OneSky. After you make a donation to OneSky, notify your employer of the donation and complete any required matching gift paperwork. If your gift complies with their corporate giving program, OneSky will receive a donation in the same amount as your original gift! This results in twice the impact for vulnerable children OneSky serves. Please contact donate@onesky.org for more information.
Gifts in Kind
OneSky accepts a limited number of gifts-in-kind. In times of urgency (floods, storms, etc.), we may call our community to ask for contributions. At other times, if you have an item you think we might be able to use, please reach out to Roberta O’Hara at roberta@onesky.org and ask. We may not be able to take everything offered, but please know that we are grateful that you have thought of us. (Also note that we do not appraise the value of gifts-in-kind. We will provide you with a receipt for your contribution, but we will not determine the value of the donation. You will need to seek your appraisal of the donation.)

Crypto
Cryptocurrency donations are accepted using Every.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit who processes and sells the cryptocurrency, sends the tax receipt, and disburses the full realized gain to OneSky for all children.
Virtual currencies such as cryptocurrency are classified as property assets by the IRS. OneSky does not accept cryptocurrency directly and instead encourage donors to direct their gift to Every.org in support of OneSky. Every.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that will accept and sell gifts of cryptocurrency, issue gift acknowledgements or receipts, and disburse the full realized gain to OneSky.
Donors who wish to take a tax deduction for their gift should consult a tax professional for tax implications. For example, they may need to fill out IRS Form 8283 to claim deductions worth $500 or more or be subject to qualified third-party appraisal requirements to claim deductions worth $5,000 or more.
