CONTRIBUTE
TO THE
SAN DIEGO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY



There are many valuable and helpful ways to contribute to the San Diego Genealogical Society.  Your contribution will aid the Society in accomplishing its goals and objectives.  In addition to contributing your time and skills by volunteering at the SDGS Library, on the Board of Directors or on a special project that is of interest to you, there are a variety of ways to make a financial contribution to the Society.

The San Diego Genealogical Society has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.  All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law when no goods or services are given in exchange for the contribution.

Please consider making a contribution to the Society in one or more of the following ways:

MEMBERSHIP

Upgrade or renew your membership to a higher level. The individual membership rate has intentionally been kept low in order to make it affordable for as many people as possible.  For those who desire to make a greater contribution, higher levels of membership are available. Contact the Membership Director to upgrade your membership now or renew at a higher level when you renew your membership at year's end.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS

Patronize these retailers who generously donate a portion of your purchase amount to the San Diego Genealogical Society.   Here are the simple steps to set these donations in motion:

Ralphs Rewards Program - Go to the Ralphs Community Contributions webpage and register your Ralphs Rewards card number. Click on the Ralphs Rewards image.

Albertson's Community Partners Program - Go to the Community Partners webpage and register your Preferred Savings Card.

Food 4 Less Food Company - SDGS provides Food 4 Less with your name and address, and we issue you a Food 4 Less Community Rewards card.

Provide this information on the enrollment sheets at a SDGS meeting or telephone the Society (858-279-7347) and leave a message on the answering machine with your name, Ralph's Club Card number, your address and telephone number. Indicate whether you want to enroll in the Ralphs or Food 4 Less program, or both. We will mail you the Food 4 Less Community Rewards card.

ASSET DONATION

There are several avenues available to contribute tangible assets to the San Diego Genealogical Society:

New or used genealogy books - Share genealogy books you no longer need by donating them to the San Diego Genealogical Society.  Books not yet held in the SDGS Library will be added to the collection. These books will be available to help fellow genealogists.

Books that are a duplicate of ones already held in the SDGS Library collection will be placed in the SDGS annual book auction in August, offered for sale in the SDGS Emporium eBay Store, or returned to the donor (if so requested). These sales raise funds for the Society.

Used non-genealogy books -  The San Diego Genealogical Society sells used paperback and hardback books for a nominal cost at Society meetings. The sale of these books generates income for the Society.  Some of these books may also be placed for sale in the SDGS Emporium eBay Store.

Unwanted vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, recreational vehicles) - Action Donation Services will turn your unwanted vehicle into cash for the San Diego Genealogical Society.  For more information, call Action Donation Services directly, toll free (1- 866-244-8464) or click here

CASH DONATION

A check made payable to the San Diego Genealogical Society is the simplest way to financially support the Society and its activities.  You may designate a specific use for your donation if you wish.

EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFTS

Many companies have 'matching gift' plans that match donations made by employees and retirees of the company to non-profit organizations. The procedure is simple.  Just fill out your company's 'matching gift' form and send it along with your check to SDGS.

MEMORIAL GIFTS

Honor and remember a loved one with a memorial gift in their name sent to the San Diego Genealogical Society.
