Ways to Give
Make a gift in honor of someone special
Tribute gifts are a quiet way to honor someone who matters to you, a person or a pet.
You might honor a friend or family member who has stood by you. You might thank a veterinarian or trainer who walked with you through a hard chapter. You might celebrate a pet on their birthday, on their adoption anniversary, or on a milestone in their health. A tribute can be a moment of gratitude in any form that feels right to you.
When you donate online, just let us know it is a tribute gift and who you would like to honor. If you share their mailing address or email, we will send a kind note letting them know about your gift, without mentioning the amount.
Give through your donor-advised fund (DAF)
A DAF gift is a tax efficient way to support our work. You will initiate the donation directly through your DAF provider. Once it is set up, please fill out this form so we can track the gift and send confirmation when it arrives.

Make an IRA gift as early as age 70+
If you are 70½ or older, you are eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), a tax efficient way to give. A QCD transfers funds directly from your IRA to Diesel’s FootPrint, and the amount does not count as taxable income. Starting at age 73, a QCD can also satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). In 2026, you can give up to $111,000 per person. Married couples with separate IRAs can each give up to $111,000, for a combined total of $222,000.
Please consult your tax advisor.
Employee matching gift program
Your gift to Diesel’s FootPrint may go even further through your employer. Many companies match charitable donations from their employees, sometimes doubling or even tripling the impact at no extra cost to you.
Diesel’s FootPrint is registered on Benevity. If your employer uses Benevity for workplace giving, you can find us in your company portal and submit your match from there.
If you are not sure whether your company offers matching, your HR team is a good place to start. They can let you know if matching is available and help you through the request. If your spouse’s employer also offers matching, they are welcome to participate too. Once the match is approved, the funds come directly to us.
We would love to help with any questions. You can reach us anytime at donations@dieselsfootprint.org.
