• Write a check. Make your check payable to Community Outreach and mail it to us at 865 NW Reiman, Corvallis, OR 97330, or better yet, come by and see the facility and ask for a tour. If someone is available we take great pride in showing you what we are able to do here.
   
• Electronic withdrawal from your checking account. To sign up, complete our one-page Automatic Withdrawal of Funds form. You will need to print out the form, complete the fields, sign it, and enclose a voided check. Send in the completed form to Community Outreach and your donation will automatically be withdrawn from your checking account.

They notify us promptly of the gift and you will receive a "thank you!" note from us, to assure you that we received your donation.
   
  

• Transfer appreciated securities. This is a wonderful way to receive a significant tax benefit and provide Community Outreach with a generous donation. Have your broker contact Bill Mercer, at Edward Jones here in Corvallis at 541-752-1449. His office can help with the sale and transfer into our account. Unless you wish to remain anonymous, be sure to contact us about your intentions so we can appropriately acknowledge when the gift is received and provide you with tax information and our thanks.
   
• Ask us to bill you for a pledged amount. Send us an email or letter, detailing the full amount of your pledge and the monthly/quarterly or annual amount you would like us to remind you of.

• Contribute to our endowment. Community Outreach maintains a permanently restricted endowment. Earnings from the endowment are used to fund current operations. You may contribute in any of the ways described above. Let us know you wish the gift to go into the endowment. We will ask you to complete an endowment form so we have a permanent record of your intentions. We will send you an acknowledgement for your tax records. Our endowment is invested only in socially responsible funds.
   
• Donate through a life insurance policy. Donors can contribute a life insurance policy to Community Outreach in several ways. You may assign a paid up policy to us as owner; naming us as primary or successor beneficiary. You may also donate a policy on which premiums remain to be paid then make annual gifts to cover the premium due.
   
• Establish a Gift Annuity. Community Outreach is pleased to work with donors and their advisors on planned gift arrangements. These may include gifts made through trusts, gift of retirement funds, and bequests. A planned gift can provide essential long-term resources to our agency while offering donors, and/or their heirs, significant tax benefits and greater control of their assets.
   
• Remember us in your will. Individuals or couples who have included Community Outreach, Inc. in their wills are encouraged to inform us, so that we may acknowledge and honor their generosity in their lifetimes.
