Gifts of Cash

By check: Send LMV a check today at 2945 Bell RD #119, Auburn, CA 95603.
By credit card: Go to our secure donations page via Network for Good to make a direct gift to LMV by credit card.

Pledges

Pledges may be paid in equal or varying amounts, according to your wishes or convenience. You can make a multi-year commitment if you wish and be billed annually, semiannually, or monthly. Contact Us or donate online through our secure donations page via Network for Good.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Stocks that have appreciated in value can be donated to LMV, avoiding capital gains taxes for the donor and providing a tax deduction as well. Donors can deduct the fair market value of the stock, providing the ability to make a larger charitable gift than they could give if they simply sold the stock, paid capital gains taxes, and donated the proceeds. LMV pays no taxes on the stock, thereby netting the entire market value of the gift. Contact Us to make a gift of appreciated securities.

Life Insurance

Benefits of a life insurance policy that are designated to LMV will not be subject to any tax. By assigning ownership of an existing life insurance policy to LMV, a donor may qualify for an initial deduction approximately equal to the current cash value of the policy. As a further incentive, premium payments can be tax deductible. Contact Us to learn more.

Medical Supplies

We have transferred the collection and distribution of medical supplies from LMV to an independent outside service: Carlos Benitez, 2654 Kendrick Circle San Jose, CA 95121. He can be reached at Tel: 408-972-4357 (h), 408-559-2448 (w), or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Medications

LMV collects certain medications and supplies for use in our clinics. Medications must have six months or more before their expiration dates. We do not accept narcotics, injectable medications, needles, or syringes. To verify that we are likely to accept a particular medication, review our list of medications we use most; chances are that if the medication is not on our list, we cannot accept it.

Another option is Aid for Aids... more information and contacts to donate medications.

In their own words

"By nature, I'm not the type to volunteer. But four days in Mexico with LMV had a discernible effect on me. It felt better and more rewarding than a week on the beach in Hawaii. I will definitely return," Michael Martinez, volunteer
