As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Third Street accepts gifts through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs).  

To recommend a grant through your DAF, contact your financial advisor, legal advisor, or DAF representative and request that a grant be made to Third Street Music School Settlement, EIN: 13-5596825. 

Many companies match charitable contributions made by their employees, doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift. After making a gift to Third Street, check with your employer to see if your company offers a matching gift program. Complete the required matching gift form and send it to us. We will help take care of the rest. 

Donating long-term appreciated securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, can be a meaningful and tax-efficient way to support Third Street. 

In many cases, donors may be eligible for a charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the securities at the time of the gift and may avoid recognizing capital gains on the appreciation. Securities can be used to make an annual gift, a special contribution, or support other planned giving opportunities, such as charitable gift annuities or trusts. 

Contact your financial advisor for further information on how to transfer securities to Third Street.

In-kind gifts of goods or services help advance Third Street’s mission and support our programs and events. These gifts may be tax-deductible, and Third Street will provide written acknowledgment for your records. 

Donors are responsible for determining and reporting the value of their in-kind contribution. 

Examples of in-kind gifts include, but are not limited to instruments in excellent condition, gift certificates, event auction items, professional services or support, software, and event spaces.

If you are planning your required minimum distributions, consider making an IRA Charitable Rollover, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), to support Third Street. 

A QCD can be an effective way to meet your philanthropy goals while making a meaningful impact. Please consult your financial advisor to determine whether this option is right for you.
