So, this is the part where we tell you how BAVC wouldn’t exist without a passionate and dedicated group of donors whose generosity allows us to serve more than 500 youth, hundreds of non-profit organizations, and more than 1,500 media makers and artists every year. BAVC media makers craft stories that travel around the world, into diverse homes and communities, where they educate, motivate, entertain, and build community amongst millions of viewers.

When you make a donation to BAVC, you are investing in the power of media to make change, and in the power of an innovative non-profit that works hard to support and inspire that change in media maker and audience alike.

We want you to give to BAVC because you want to, because you believe in what we do and how we do it. We want you to be motivated by the quality of our services, the breadth of our programming, the significance of our results, and the size of our heart.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that we are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and your donations are also tax-deductible and full of good karma.

Never Goes Out of Style:

Transfer some stock.
Make an in-kind gift.
Make a matching gift.

Stock Transfer
You can transfer stock directly into BAVC’s brokerage account (and save yourself a pretty penny in capital gains taxes).

In-Kind Gifts
We love it when people and/or businesses send us equipment, software and furniture that is in good condition and relevant to our programming (in non-profit talk that’s making an in-kind gift). You can also make a donation of a gift from our Amazon.com wishlist.

Matching Gifts and Sponsorship
There are some do-gooder corporations out there that match donations by their employees. It is a way to make your donation go twice (and sometimes three times) as far. Some corporations also make charitable donations. If yours is one of them, please let them know about BAVC. We have lots of ways to recognize our corporate supporters (including corporate sponsorship), and we'd love to recognize yours.

For more information on any of these options, please contact BAVC’s Director of Development Carol Varney.
