Ways to give
Every way to give is a way to lift
Money, a monthly gift, a truck, a box of tape, a match for a campaign, or a gift in someone’s memory. Here’s how each one helps.
Tribute gifts
Honor someone who carried you
Give in honor of a birthday or a retirement, or in memory of a parent or grandparent. We’ll send a card to the person or family you name (we never mention the amount).
The greatest gift you can give is to lift others up when they need it most.
In kind gifts
Our moving day wish list
Things that go straight to work on real moves. In kind gifts may be tax deductible; we’ll send a receipt describing what you gave.
We’d love
- A box truck or cargo van that runs well, with a clear title
- Furniture dollies, hand trucks, and straps
- Moving pads and blankets
- New boxes, tape, and packing paper
- Bubble wrap and mattress bags
- Tool kits and picture hanging kits
- Fuel gift cards
- Storage unit time for short term holds
- Printing, accounting, or legal help (pro bono)
- Gently used furniture and household goods (we may pass them to a senior in need or sell them, for example on Facebook Marketplace, with every dollar going to moves)
We can’t accept
- Used mattresses
- Hazardous materials, paint, or chemicals
Have something else? Ask. If we can’t use it, we’ll try to point you to someone who can.

Double every gift: become a match sponsor
A business or family pledges to match gifts, up to an amount you choose, during a campaign like year end or Idaho Gives. Research shows a simple 1:1 match inspires donors just as much as bigger ratios, so even a modest match goes a long way.1
We only announce matches that are real, and we name the sponsor (with permission).
