Make a Tribute Gift

Honor someone special with a gift that changes lives.

  • Give in Someone's Honor

A Meaningful Way to Celebrate or Remember

A tribute gift is a heartfelt way to honor a loved one whether celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation or special milestone, or remembering someone who has passed. Instead of a traditional gift, a donation made in someone's name creates real, lasting impact for communities facing poverty, displacement and crisis.

When you make a tribute gift, we'll send a personalized card or notification to the honoree or their family, letting them know a donation has been made in their name a meaningful way to mark an occasion while supporting a cause that matters.

Every tribute gift goes directly toward our programs in education, health, humanitarian response and community development, turning a personal moment into hope for someone in need.
