Memorial gift of cash
Charitable Gifts are most often made in the form of cash and checks. Donating to the Foundation through gifts of cash can be done in memorial or honor of a loved one.
Many individuals also choose to donate cash gifts and benefit from tax reductions. If you itemize your tax deductions, gifts of cash can eliminate or reduce your tax on up to 50% of your adjusted gross income.
Appreciated securities
Giving the gift of long term appreciated securities can benefit you in multiple ways. Benefits include:
- Increasing the size of your gift while lowering your net-after-tax cost
- Eliminating capital gains on the appreciation of your shares
- Being eligible to receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your shares
Appreciated Securities, such as gifts of stock, can be given annually or as a one-time contribution and can be used to establish a planned giving vehicle such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
Life Insurance benefits
By donating an existing insurance policy, you may qualify for a charitable income tax deduction based upon the cash surrender value of the policy on the date of the contribution. For new policies, you may deduct the amount of your premium payment as long as it is provided directly to the foundation.
Benefits of gifting life insurance include:
- Advantageous tax deductions
- Ability to make a contribution without disturbing other assets
Health care education scholarships
Gifts-in-kind
The Foundation also accepts gifts-in-kind. A few examples of such donations include discounted services such as printing or graphic design, as well as items that may be used toward our special events, including guest premiums, auction/raffle items, etc.
