CSH has demonstrated that supportive housing improves the lives of people facing complex barriers to housing. Since 1991, our work has helped nearly 500,000 individuals and families who needed housing and supportive services find a safe place to live with they could achieve stability and transform their lives.

As we celebrate these successes, we acknowledge that the need for supportive housing is escalating. In the face of this growing demand, our work takes on an even greater purpose and your support becomes more meaningful than ever.

Other Ways to Give

Stock Gifting

Making a gift to CSH via stock, or other securities (such as bonds or mutual funds), allows you to have an immediate impact in work to advance supportive housing.

IRA Charitable Rollover Gift to CSH

Contact your IRA Custodian to obtain the form needed to make an IRA charitable rollover, which may be referred to as a “qualified charitable distribution form.”

The form will require you to identify CSH by its full name, Corporation for Supportive Housing, and its tax ID, (13-3600232). Some custodians require that you submit your request by letter.  Please contact Nancy McGraw at nancy.mcgraw@csh.org to obtain a sample letter. The IRA Custodian should include your name and address on the check, and make the check payable to Corporation for Supportive Housing, and mail it to:

Corporation for Supportive Housing
New York, NY 10006
ATTN: Nancy McGraw

It is important that you alert CSH about your gift via a qualified charitable distribution, as checks may arrive without identifiable information.  Please email Nancy McGraw at nancy.mcgraw@csh.org, and let us know your mailing address so we can send you a tax receipt.

Gifts of Retirement Assets and Life Insurance

You can help transform lives, improve communities and break the cycle of poverty for future generations by making a tax-free gift from your IRA directly to CSH, which may qualify as your Required Minimum Distribution.

You can also provide support by naming CSH as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other retirement plan. Depending on the gift, there may be immediate tax benefits, or savings to your estate.

NOTE that CSH is not a financial advisor so please talk directly to your financial planner and discuss options.
