About Donations
The Reciprocity Collective does not seek funding through government sources and nor will we in accordance with our mission and strategic plan. TRC believes that the strength of the community lies in the connections and relationships we build and nurture. Reciprocity is defined as: a mutual, dependence, action or influence…a mutual exchange of privileges. That means that we all contribute and invest, in big ways and small and we all benefit by being a part of a community that we are all proud to be a part of.

Donate Stocks
Donating stock is simple and easy, and giving directly to charity is one of the most tax-smart ways to give.
We have been donors to The Reciprocity Collective (TRC) since the non-profit was initiated. For many
years, we have observed the passion and drive of Mary Putman as she has dealt with all of the issues of
integrating members of the homeless community into meaningful opportunities for local employment.
We want to support the success this nonprofit has had in educating the business community that their
effort to partner with The Reciprocity Collective is a benefit to everyone. We have seen firsthand the
pride of previously homeless individuals who have been welcomed into the workplace, and have the
support of their co-workers, as well as TRC. This organization is unusual in that it fills the gap between
“offering willing homeless individuals a job” and “ensuring the success of these individuals in the
workplace”.
