Make a Gift in Honor
An American Red Cross honor gift allows you to recognize special milestones in your loved ones' lives or acknowledge someone who has made a difference in your own life.
To make a gift in honor, please call (609) 951-2122. You can also make a gift online.
When your gift in honor is received, the American Red Cross will promptly send a personalized tribute card to the person or family you indicated, notifying them of your thoughtful donation. All donations are tax-deductible.
Make a Gift In Memory
An American Red Cross memorial gift expresses the sense of loss when someone important to you passes away. It is also a meaningful way to celebrate the memory of a loved one who cared about the American Red Cross's mission.
To make a gift in memory, please call (609) 951-2122. You can also make a gift online.
When your memorial gift is received, the American Red Cross will promptly send a personalized tribute card to the family member you indicate, notifying them of your thoughtful donation. All donations are tax-deductible.
Donate Stock or Securities
One of the most advantageous ways to contribute to the American Red Cross is through a gift of stock. Making a gift of securities is simple and offers a number of valuable financial benefits.
- You can donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
- The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible.
- There is no obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation.
Be certain to notify the Red Cross of your/your client's stock gift. Stock donations transferred directly to our broker arrive in our account with no donor information. For the Red Cross to provide a receipt for a stock gift it is essential that we know the donor's name and address as well as the type of stock, number of shares, and expected date of transfer.
- Notify the Red Cross of your gift using our stock gift notification form, or
- Notify the Red Cross of your gift by email or phone by contacting Julie McIsaac at (609) 951-2122 or Julie.McIsaac@redcross.org.
Should you require it, the American Red Cross's Employer Identification Number (EIN)/Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN) is 95-1643965.

Make a Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our supporters no longer need life insurance that was purchased years ago to provide for children or other family members. If that is your situation, please consider donating the policy to the American Red Cross. You may claim a charitable deduction for approximately the policy's cash surrender value, and the proceeds are completely removed from your estate.
