There are many in-kind goods and services opportunities Hope Solutions offers to support our mission. They include household and furniture donations, gift cards, cleaning supplies, and more. View our current needs.

Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) can help Hope Solutions by providing a flexible, low-cost method of supporting our clients. Use the DAF widget to initiate a fund disbursement and help provide permanent housing solutions and vital support services to homeless families and individuals. You can also name Hope Solutions as the beneficiary of the fund during your estate and legacy planning.

Please note that although we changed our name in 2019, our legal name remains Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional
Housing, Inc and if you are using a DAF, employee match or other similar donation method you may need to search by our legal name or EIN #91-179-7391

The provided DAFDirect widget will take you to your Donor-Advised Fund for:

• Fidelity Charitable
• Schwab Charitable
• BNY Mellon

Or click below for one of the following and make Hope Solutions your Donor-Advised Fund charitable designation:

• • American Endowment Foundation
  •  Ayco Charitable Foundation
  •  Jewish Communal Fund
  • Raymond James Charitable
  • Vanguard Charitable

If you’re 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to Hope Solutions through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD is excluded from your taxable income. If you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), your gift can also count toward it. Click here to learn more about how to do this.

To make your gift:

1. Ask your IRA administrator to send a QCD directly to Hope Solutions. The funds can’t be withdrawn and then donated by you.
2. Provide these details:
   • Payable to:  Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. dba Hope Solutions
   • Address: 399 Taylor Blvd., Suite 115, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
   • EIN: 91-1797391
3. Let us know your gift is on its way at development@hopesolutions.org. This helps us thank you and send your acknowledgment, since checks from IRA administrators don’t always identify the donor.

To count for the calendar year, your QCD must be completed by December 31. Processing can take time, so we encourage you to start by early December. Please talk with your tax or financial advisor about how a QCD fits your situation.

Hope Solutions is excited to announce our partnership with Cars 2nd Chance! We’re helping to turn donated vehicles into charitable dollars that will support the mission of Hope Solutions.

Cars 2nd Chance accepts all types of vehicle donations and offers free pickup.  Half of the net sales proceeds go to Hope Solutions. Once your vehicle is sold, Hope Solutions will receive a check in your name. After accounting for expenses, the other half is distributed equally to the two Rotary clubs that operate Cars 2nd Chance. All beneficiaries are qualified as 501(c)(3) organizations by the IRS. This means you can take advantage of a tax deduction while knowing that almost every penny goes to worthy causes.

Cars 2nd Chance handles all the details including pick-up, sale, forms, and receipts.

To donate, simply call Cars 2nd Chance at (925) 326-5868, or fill out their online form by clicking the button below, and they’ll get back to you promptly.
