Giving FAQ's
Yes! Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is a 501(c)3 organization and as such, all contributions are deductible to the extent allowable by law. If you have any specific questions, please contact Kalena Dickerson, Associate Director of Development, at 312-850-9744, ext. 141 or kdickerson@hubbardstreetdance.com.
Yes! Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift! And it’s simple to do – just ask your HR department for a matching gift form and send the completed form to Hubbard Street and we do the rest. If you have questions, please contact Jeanne Newman, Manager of Individual Giving and Special Events, at 312-850-9744, ext. 130 or jnewman@hubbardstreetdance.com.
By making a gift of appreciated securities to Hubbard Street, you will be helping the company, while avoiding capital gains tax on your gift. To make a gift of appreciated securities, please contact Jeanne Newman, Manager of Individual Giving and Special Events, at 312-850-9744, ext. 130 or jnewman@hubbardstreetdance.com prior to transfer to receive our transfer instructions.
In-kind giving is a key part of Hubbard Street’s annual fundraising. Whether it is a case of fine wine for our wine event or a dinner for two at a new Chicago steakhouse, we rely on these gifts to make our special event auctions a success. For more information on making an in-kind gift, please contact Ron Wittman at 312-850-9744, ext. 170 or rwittman@hubbardstreetdance.com.
Donations made in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one are lovely gestures in lieu of a more traditional gift. To make a gift in honor or memory of someone, you can fill out the donation page online (please remember to include the name and address of who we should notify of the honor or memorial in the "Tribunes" portion of the donation page) or contact Jeanne Newman, Manager of Individual Giving and Special Events, at 312-850-9744, ext. 130 or jnewman@hubbardstreetdance.com. Hubbard Street will send a card on your behalf notifying the honoree or family of the honoree that a donation has been made in his/her name, and you will receive a receipt for a tax deduction.
