Through the power of narrative art, the Red Door Project is changing how people see and respond to conflict. Our current work focuses on the criminal justice system and includes workshops, coaching, and training. Our forthcoming film Threshold will bring these experiences to a much wider audience. Your support makes this impact possible.
Choose the way that best fits your goals. Every gift — large or small, one-time or planned — moves our work forward.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)
Donor-advised funds are a fast, tax-efficient way to support our work. You can recommend a grant from your DAF to the Red Door Project and direct your support where it matters most — film sponsorship or general operating support. If you use a DAF provider, instruct them to grant to The Red Door Project.
IRA Gifts & Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)
If you’re age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA is a tax-smart way to give. QCDs can satisfy required minimum distributions while sending tax-efficient support to the Red Door Project.
Memorial & Tribute Gifts
Honor someone meaningful with a gift in their name — for birthdays, memorials, graduations, or anniversaries. We will send a personalized acknowledgement to the honoree or the family (when requested) and recognize tribute gifts in our donor listings if donors wish. Tribute gifts are a beautiful way to celebrate a life while supporting meaningful work.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many companies match employee charitable donations dollar-for-dollar (or more). Matching gifts are one of the easiest ways to increase your impact at no additional cost. Check your employer’s benefits portal for matching gift information or ask HR how to submit a match to the Red Door Project — we’ll provide whatever documentation they require.
Planned & Legacy Giving
Leave a lasting legacy by including the Red Door Project in your will, trust, or beneficiary designations. Planned gifts — such as bequests, beneficiary designations, charitable remainder trusts, or endowments — create enduring support for storytelling that transforms communities. Planned giving can also offer estate or income tax advantages depending on the option you select.
Gifts of Stock & Securities
Gifts of appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds are a tax-efficient way to support our mission. Donating securities avoids capital gains tax on the appreciation and may allow you to deduct the fair market value of the gift. We’ll provide transfer instructions for your broker and issue an official receipt once the gift is complete. Please contact us at 503.451.0739 before you initiate the transfer so we can confirm details and ensure prompt acknowledgment.
