Gifts (donations & registries)

We feel that your presence at our wedding is a gift in itself. We have most of the things we want for ourselves, our home and our life together -- but, at this point in our lives, we haven't been able to give as much to charity as we'd like. So, if you want to give us something, we would be honored if you would consider making a donation in our name to a cause that is important to us.

We have listed several below. When the site asks for an address to notify us of your donation, please use gglazer[at]gmail[dot]com. (If you're worried that you will get on the group's mailing list for nuisance solicitations, look for the "opt out" selection.)

Freedom to Marry. We wish that all couples -- including same-sex couples -- had the same rights to marry as we do. Donation page.

Bread for the City. This organization serves D.C. residents in need of food, clothing, medical care and other services. (Donate in our name at this page.)

Heifer International. This group donates animals to hungry people worldwide who keep and raise them as a "sustainable source of food and income." (Just think ... instead of giving Gwen a goat as a wedding gift, give a goat to someone who really needs one!) Our wedding registry at Heifer.

UJA Federation of New York. The Jewish Federation and United Jewish Appeal support Jewish life with programs both domestically and in Israel. You can use their Donation page, or contact their donations office at Donorcenter@ujafedny.org, or 212-836-1486.

National Yiddish Book Center. We've taken Yiddish classes together, and we believe in the preservation of the Yiddish language. A groysn dank! Donation page.

The Freedom to Read Foundation. Help librarians support First Amendment rights! Donation page. (When you donate, check the box marked "in honor of someone" and write our names and address in the "comments" section. There is no "opt out" check-box on the donation page, but the foundation's program coordinator told us that they "don't have a mailing list for non-members who donate . . . so [donors] will never receive additional correspondence from us.")

If you'd like to give a more traditional gift, we are registered at Williams-Sonoma and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
