Ways to Give

One Time Gift

Your one-time gift has the power to change lives right now. Every dollar helps provide essential services, respond to urgent needs, and support the clients who rely on us every day. Even a single contribution can make a meaningful difference—helping someone access the care, resources, or opportunities they need today. By giving now, you become part of a community that transforms lives and strengthens our mission, ensuring that hope, stability, and opportunity reach those who need them most.

Monthly Giving

By giving monthly, you join a dedicated community of supporters who provide ongoing stability, allowing us to deliver consistent, high-quality services, reach more people, strengthen our community, and respond immediately to urgent needs. Recurring gifts are the backbone of our mission, helping us plan ahead, sustain programs, and make a real difference in the lives of the clients we serve. You’re more than a donor—you’re a partner in transforming lives. Even a small monthly gift adds up over time, creating lasting impact and leaving a legacy of hope, stability, and opportunity for those who need it most.

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that lets you donate money, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to charities over time. It’s often described as a “charitable investment account.” Some of the most well-known providers include Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and Vanguard Charitable.

Simply provide the following information to your provider:

EIN: 43-1304395
Organization: ThriVe St. Louis
Address: 4331 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63108

Stock Gifts

If you would like to gift securities (i.e. stocks or bonds) to ThriVe St. Louis, please make sure to *clearly* provide us with your name, the type of share you will be gifting, and the number of shares. ThriVe *must* be able to identify that the pending gift is from you in order to accurately acknowledge the gift for tax purposes including potential Tax Credits.

Step 1 – Contact business@thrivestlouis.org or your ThriVe investment officer to alert them that you have a stock gift pending. Your investment officer will work with Raymond James to finalize the reporting once your gift comes through.

Step 2 – Contact our broker at Raymond James, Joe Schnitzler, at 636.778.7465 or by email at joseph.schnitzler@raymondjames.com.

If you own securities registered at a bank or brokerage firm, you will need to notify them of your intention to gift the specific securities you have in mind. Your bank or brokerage firm will normally require you to sign a Letter Of Authorization/Third party Release form which designates the amount and type of securities you would like to gift. You would be gifting these securities to the ThriVe St. Louis account at Raymond James by providing your bank or brokerage firm with ThriVe’s DTC#0725 for credit to ThriVe St. Louis account #751Y8182. *Be sure* that your firm provides your name as the donor on the DTC transaction so ThriVe St. Louis knows who made the gift and can receipt it properly for tax purposes.

If you are 70½ or older, you can support our mission directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Your gift goes straight from your account to our organization, counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution, and is excluded from taxable income. It’s a simple, tax-wise way to make a meaningful impact and help transform the lives of the clients we serve.

You can give through your IRA in 3 easy steps:

1. Contact your IRA custodian – Ask to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
2. Direct the gift to us – Make it payable to ThriVe St. Louis, EIN 43-1304395.
3. Send the funds directly – Have your IRA custodian transfer the donation straight to ThriVe (not to you personally) so it qualifies as a QCD.

Your gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and is excluded from taxable income, making it a simple, tax-efficient way to support our mission.

By including our organization in your estate plans, you can leave a legacy that changes lives for generations. A gift in your will costs nothing today but helps ensure the mission you care about continues far into the future. Including our organization in your will is a simple and meaningful way to make a lasting difference.

Your Values. Your Legacy.

Sample Bequest Language:

Did you know your employer may match your donation to ThriVe St. Louis? Many companies will match gifts dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling—or even tripling—your impact at no extra cost to you. Matching gifts help us provide more services, reach more clients, and strengthen our community. It’s easy to participate: simply check if your employer offers a match and submit a matching gift request after you donate. Your generosity, combined with your company’s support, goes even further to transform lives and sustain our mission.
