Giving Resources:
Give online with your credit card.
Gifts can be made as a one-time donation or as a monthly pledge.
It’s simple and easy for you!
Checks can be mailed to:
Downtown Ministries
165 Pulaski Street
Athens GA 30601
Give monthly through an Automatic Bank withdrawal.
Setting up a monthly gift is not only easy for you, but benefits the organization as we can better budget monthly expenses.
Donate through Venmo (Downtown-Ministries).
Donor Advised Funds
Call our administrative offices or Cary Rivers, Director of Development, so we can assist you and your Financial Advisor on how to use your DAF to make a donation.
With a planned gift, you can combine your desire to give to charity with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals. Planned giving gives you a special connection with our ministries. You can help our community for now and for years to come.
