Considering making a gift this holiday season?

There are a lot of options out there for charitable giving, and a lot of worthy causes competing for your attention.

Besides your budget and how much the cause matters to you personally, there are other factors to consider, to maximize every hard-earned dollar that you give.

If you’re considering giving to CAWST, we couldn’t be happier! And we’re committed to making that gift count. From November 12 to Giving Tuesday, December 3, if you make a gift to CAWST, it will be “double-matched” by our Board Chair, David O’Brien. That means every dollar turns into three dollars, which helps five people.

Giving is a personal decision, and we always suggest seeking advice from your financial advisor to maximize your impact. Here are some ways you can support CAWST:
