More Ways to Give: Support Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger with Stock, Crypto, or a Donor-Advised Fund
When most people think about donating to Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger, they probably think about writing a check or making a gift with a credit card.
Those remain great ways to support our mission—but they aren’t the only options.
Through our secure Pledge donation platform, supporters can also donate publicly traded stock, cryptocurrency, or recommend a grant from a donor-advised fund. These flexible giving options make it easier to support hunger relief in a way that fits your financial and charitable goals.
Donate Appreciated Stock
If you own publicly traded stock that has increased in value, donating shares may allow you to make a larger charitable contribution without first selling the investment.
Depending on your individual circumstances, donating appreciated stock directly to a charity may also provide tax advantages compared with selling the shares and donating the proceeds. Pledge facilitates the transfer and handles the processing, making this option easier for both the donor and Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger.
Give Cryptocurrency
Supporters can also donate cryptocurrency through Pledge, including widely held assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Pledge processes the transaction and converts the cryptocurrency into U.S. dollars. That means Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger receives usable funding for its mission without needing to maintain a cryptocurrency wallet or assume the risk of holding a volatile digital asset.
For donors who already own cryptocurrency, this provides another convenient way to turn an appreciated asset into meaningful support for Michigan families.
Recommend a Grant from Your Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund, commonly called a DAF, is a charitable giving account established through an organization such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, a community foundation, or another sponsoring institution.
If you have a donor-advised fund, you may already have charitable dollars set aside and ready to be granted. Through Pledge’s integrated DAF giving option, eligible donors can recommend a grant to Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger directly through the online donation process.
This can be an especially valuable option for individuals and families who use a donor-advised fund to organize their annual or long-term charitable giving.
Your Gift Helps Turn Donated Venison into Meals
No matter how you choose to give, your support helps Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger connect hunters, participating processors, food banks, and local hunger-relief organizations.
Financial donations help pay for the professional processing of donated deer so that nutritious ground venison can be distributed to individuals and families throughout Michigan.
One donated deer can provide hundreds of servings of lean, locally sourced protein—but turning that deer into food requires funding. Your gift helps cover that critical step.
