Donate to the GSDCA Charitable Trust
The German Shepherd Dog Club of America’s Charitable Trust educates breeders, judges, junior handlers, professionals and the public by providing the latest relevant information on topics such as health, genetics, legislation and the utilitarian uses of the German Shepherd Dog. The Trust also focuses on the future of our breed and dedicates its efforts toward the next generation through its support of the GSDCA’s Junior Showmanship program. In order to maintain and improve the overall quality, both physical and mental, of the German Shepherd Dog, we provide and sponsor workshops, seminars, informative brochures and educational online videos. “Make sure my shepherd dog remains a working dog, for I have struggled all my life long for that aim.” (Rittermeister Captain Max von Stephanitz, 1864-1936 – founder of German Shepherd Dog).
Your donation to the Charitable Trust is important to all of us. Please contact Nina Bingham and we can discuss your investment in the future education of our breed.

Nina Bingham | Matching Gifts Many companies match gifts made by their employees. This opportunity provides another source of income for the GSDCA Charitable Trust. To find out if your company participates in this type of program, please ask your employer. Matching gifts are credited to the donor and count toward membership in the different gift clubs. |
Pledges This is a commitment to give a specific donation to the GSDCA Charitable Trust. A donor’s pledge is taken seriously and it would be due by the end of the fiscal year in which it was given. Call Nina today. | Stock Gifts of appreciated stock offer a two-fold tax advantage: the donor may deduct the full market value of the securities as a charitable donation, (up to the allowable tax deduction limits), AND avoid capital gains tax that would be due if the stock itself were to be sold on the open market. When making gifts of securities to GSDCA Charitable Trust, please be sure to give the stock itself and not the proceeds from the sale. In most circumstances, a broker can facilitate the gift and execute it electronically. Please consult your tax professional. |
