Please donate to the Zelle account: sbw@80-20.org

The first time you donate, please email staff@80-20ef.org with your name and address which we will use for tax-receipt purposes.


5. Use checks

For large ($1000+) donations, using checks instead of PayPal can save us significant fees.


Please write your check:

  • make it payable to "80-20 EF"
  • include your email in memo line (or email staff@80-20ef.org in advance)
  • mail to:
    Katy Woo
    939 Beach Dr. NE, Apt 910

6. Stock donation

Consider donating stocks which gained huge appreciation, instead of a check.

You don't pay "Capital Gains" tax on the large appreciation, while deducting the full market value of the stock as donation in your IRS filing.

Starting Nov of 2023, our TDAmeritrade account has officially been transitioned into a Charles Schwab account, so the details below are new even to our previous stock donors.
