Sending a donation with Zelle® can be done either through your bank's mobile app, the web or the Zelle® mobile app. You can set up a Zelle® account and use CSED's email csedchgo@sbcglobal.net as the recipient. Your Zelle® one-time or recurring donation will be electronically deposited directly into CSED's bank account with no fees. This means 100% percent of your gift goes to CSED.
You can also set up recurring payments using your bank's automatic bill pay feature. Provide your bank with the amount of your gift and the address of CSED. Your bank will then send a charitable gift withdrawal from your account to CSED on the date you selected.
There are no fees with this method of donation. This means 100% percent of your gift goes to CSED.

Many CSED donors have obtained substantial personal and tax benefits by making gifts through wills, trusts, annuities and other forms of deferred giving. In this way they also provide major benefits for the work which CSED is helping to support. Contact Pila Racca to learn more about bequests, life income arrangements or gifts involving real estate or closely held stock.
CSED considers all pledges to be good faith expression of intent, but subject to possible future changes of circumstances and not legally binding, either upon the donor or upon his or her heirs.
If you wish to make a gift of securities, please call, or ask your broker to call or email Pila Racca to request instructions. Or, if you prefer, you may send the unendorsed certificate and, in a separate envelope, a signed stock power, enclosing with both a letter stating the purpose of your gift. Gifts of securities can offer a double tax benefit: a tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the gift and the avoidance of capital gains taxes that would otherwise be assessed on the sale of the property.
All donations are tax deductible. CSED is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. If you donate more than $250 in a given calendar year, CSED will send you an end-of-year tax letter with a summary of your donations.
