The Advanced Center for Eyecare invites all service clubs around the USA to partner with us in the effort to support current sight-restoring clinics, as well as establish new ones. If you are a service club member and would like to get your club involved, please contact our Director.

Each year, the Advanced Center for Eyecare’s physicians donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donated medical services and supplies to perform thousands of sight-restoring surgeries. Advanced Center for Eyecare is always looking for new in-kind partners, both corporate and private. Please contact us to discuss our current wish list and this type of donation.

A gift to the Advanced Center for Eyecare of appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds may have a tax advantage to you under current IRS regulations. When you transfer stock to Advanced Center for Eyecare, you receive a tax deduction for your charitable gift at full market value, and you incur no capital gains (up to the current deduction limits). The date of your gift, as determined by the IRS, is the date it arrives in our bank account.

Planned giving is an important tool to stimulate change in the world. It is one of the greatest opportunities an individual will ever have to provide direction and benefits for family, friends, and charitable organizations. A planned gift can be a gift now or in the future and offer substantial tax and estate planning benefits. A donor can be any age, give any amount, and use most any asset to achieve personal, financial, and philanthropic goals through a bequest. A bequest in your will or revocable living trust allows you to make a significant contribution to the Advanced Center for Eyecare and maintain control of your funds during your lifetime. It will also allow you to perpetuate your lifetime giving in support of ending blindness.

Setting up an automatic monthly donation with the Advanced Center for Eyecare is an excellent way to show your commitment to eliminating blindness in Kern County. Your monthly donation has an enormous impact because it allows the Advanced Center for Eyecare to reduce costs and plan ahead for future programs. Becoming a part of ACE’s highly regarded group of donors, you will help make sight-restoring clinics possible all year long.
