Since 1995 ASIA has been facilitating adoptions from China, and providing humanitarian aid. Donations made to ASIA are tax deductible, whatever the purpose of the donation. Please use our donation form and mail it to the ASIA office with your donation. Call the office at 503-224-1860 if you have questions or want to charge a donation to your credit card without sending the information through the mail.

Donations made to ASIA may be restricted for a specific use, but click on the "Current Campaign" to find out about our needs right now. If you are interested in the Special Needs Adoption Fund you can follow that link to find out more.

There are so many wonderful reasons to donate, and many ways to make your donation really count. Check out some of the ideas below....

Great Ideas for Making Donations to ASIA

• Search with Goodsearch. Go to the Goodsearch website, www.goodsearch.com, and choose ASIA as your charity of choice (put ASIA in the search field, and it will definitely be one of the four or five to pop up). Then, every time you conduct an internet search using Goodsearch, ASIA gets a penny. It's amazing how quickly this turns into dollars! You can even set up your web browser's search bar to use Goodsearch as the default search engine - instructions are on the website.
• Find out if your company matches employee donations. This is a great way to leverage your donation. Many companies will match some or even all of the funds donated by their employees when the donation is made through payroll. Check with your Human Resources or Public Affairs department for details.
• Get your kids involved. Some of the most successful fundraisers are run by kids. People can't seem to resist them. Going door to door selling candy bars is not very effective, but having a bake sale at school (with plenty of fliers to the other parents beforehand) is both fun for the kids and very hands on. Having your child state their case to Grandma and Grandpa is also usually more effective than you doing it!
• Start a Giving Circle. A giving circle is often formed like a book group, more about discussion and deciding as a group who to help rather than asking for donations- some groups do it monthly. Get a group of friends together and tell them about your personal connection and commitment to ASIA, and ask them if they are willing to support it. Then go on to discuss and support other causes in the future. It's a great excuse to get together and have some wine, and you don't have to read a book you aren't really interested in!
• Write ASIA into your will, or set up a living trust. OK, most of you probably haven't thought about this, and it won't meet our immediate needs. But if you are interested in making sure ASIA's future programs are stable, this is an excellent way to help us well into the future. This is another way your children's grandparents might be interested in helping, too. The best way to explore the options is to talk to your financial planner or consultant.
