How to Make a Donation as a Gift for Someone
- 1). Determine the kind of charity that would be most appropriate for the person receiving the tribute or gift.
- 2). Research charities in that category, using the phone book or an online charity-listing site.
- 3). Select the charity you want to send a donation to in the name of another person as a tribute or gift.
- 4). Read the donation instructions if making an online donation, making sure you fill out the gift or tribute fields.
- 5). Ask the charity to send the recipient a card telling them that a donation has been made. (Oftentimes, the donation amount is withheld; you can always choose to do so.)
