Year-end giving filled with benefits

December 4, 2025

Give yourself and the Providence Foundation a boost.

SOUTH PUGET SOUND – As 2025 comes to a close and we look forward to a new year, the holiday season inspires gratitude, generosity and reflection. With that in mind, there is no better way to end the year with a donation to the Providence Foundation.

While we all have a lot going on this time of year, our heartfelt commitment to family, friends and community shows up in so many ways – from that thoughtful gift under the tree to the donation at the food bank. Even small gestures of kindness impact others, and ourselves, in immeasurable ways.

One of the most impactful ways to close out the year is through charitable giving. See the many ways year-end giving can provide a boost to yourself and our Foundation:

·         Feel more connected to the Mission. Giving to causes you care about or that you work with fosters a greater sense of belonging and shared responsibility, improving job satisfaction.

·         Holiday season fosters gratitude and generosity. Many donors view year-end giving as a way to reflect on values, support causes they care about, and an opportunity to end the year on a positive note.

·         Year-end giving creates traditions. Some forgo holiday gift-giving in favor of benefitting a specific cause or need, elevating the spirit of the season.

·         Tax advantages to year-end giving. When the full picture of the year's income becomes clear, philanthropic giving can affect your tax burden.

·         Helping to meet fundraising targets. When year-end giving surges, it provides clarity for next year's planning for programs and impacts.

·         Year-end giving is a fun time for our Foundation team. It energizes the Foundation team, affirming our Mission and strengthening connections to the work we do and how it is valued in our community.

There are many ways to support our community by donating to our Foundation. Gifts can be unrestricted and used for the area of greatest need, or you can select a specific program or purpose to support. For more details, or to make a year-end donation to the Providence Foundation, click HERE.
