Charitable Giving with GlaKam Hockey Foundation
At GlaKam Foundation, we believe in transforming lives and making an impact on communities of African children through hockey by fostering teamwork, discipline, and leadership while expanding the sport into new and emerging markets. Your contributions not only make a direct impact on communities but can also offer you significant tax benefits.
Why Give to the GlaKam Foundation?
Giving to the GlaKam Foundation is giving the gift of hockey—a sport that builds character, fosters unity, and connects communities. Your support empowers children to grow, thrive, and develop essential life skills through the teamwork and discipline hockey inspires. It’s more than a donation—it’s an investment in the transformative power of hockey to create stronger communities and a brighter future. Together, we can use hockey to change lives and leave a lasting impact.
Giving Options
Explore how your gift can make a difference:
1. Cash and Non-Cash Assets
Cash Donations
The simplest way to give, cash donations are tax-deductible in the year they are made and can reduce your income tax. Please consult a financial professional for advice, or let us know if you’d like a referral.
Non-Cash Assets
Donating stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets can be a smart way to give. You receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value and avoid capital gains taxes. Examples of non-cash assets include:
- Stocks and bonds
- Mutual funds
- Life insurance policies
- Private business interests
- Real estate
