Legacy Gifts

These gifts represent a unique generosity of spirit that inspires all of us. One powerful way to show your support for the future of the CDGLCC is to select the CDGLCC as a charity that will be a beneficiary of your life's savings. Knowing that the CDGLCC will endure for many generations to come provides the security many people are looking for when considering how to direct the future of the finances.

State Employees via United Way

The CDGLCC, who's SEFA number is 50-00068, receives quarterly donations from state employees in various agencies. Through SEFA, the State Employees Federated Appeal, employees can designate gifts to the CDGLCC and other great organizations to be deducted from their paycheck without any hassle. This ongoing and vital support goes directly to the programs of the CDGLCC, including Center Youth and Center Support. Gifts given via SEFA are 100% tax-deductible and if given via your paycheck, will be reflected on your paystub. With difficult economic times for everyone, small steps like workplace giving via SEFA are an excellent way to ensure the programs and services of the CDGLCC continue to grow and meet the needs of the LGBT Community in the Capital Region.

If you would like more information on how to sign up, please call the CDGLCC at 518.462.6138 or SEFA directly at 518.514.2381.

If you are not a state employee, inquire at your workplace about donating to local charities, many organizations have programs and often will match your gift!
