Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, sole purpose is to act as a charitable investment account for supporting organizations you care about. With a donor-advised fund, the fund can be invested for tax-free growth so your charitable donations can be as effective as possible when you give. You have the power to drive meaningful change and be a catalyst for progress with your advised funds.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock
Gifts of appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Any appreciated stock that has current value greater than their original cost, may be donated to a public charity and a tax deduction may be taken for their full fair market value. Since the stocks are donated, capital gains taxes from selling the stocks no longer apply to you. By converting your investments into impactful change, you are actively contributing to the betterment of our community.
IRA Distributions
Maximize your impact while minimizing your tax burden – a win-win situation that allows you to make a lasting difference. Qualified charitable distributions is when a person who is 71 years or older can contribute from their IRA directly to a charity and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution.
Estate Gifts
Leave behind a legacy of compassion and care that will continue to touch lives for generations to come. Any assets that you gift to charity will be excluded from your estate tax.
