Giving Options

Ways to give

We are always happy to discuss your options and provide simple instructions for your gift.

Outright Gifts

Contributions of cash, appreciated securities or real estate generally provide a full tax deduction for the value of the gift and, in the case of appreciated securities or property, may also result in capital gains tax savings. Your gift will be put to work right away, giving you and your family the satisfaction of seeing the impact of your philanthropy.

Periodic Gifts

If you want to make gifts over time:

Set up regular gifts through automatic drafts or electronic funds transfer (EFT); fill out an Authorization Agreement to begin monthly bank drafts.

Life Income Gifts

Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Trusts enable you to make a gift now and receive income payments for life or a period of years. You generally receive a partial tax deduction in the year of the gift. If funded with appreciated securities or property, you may also be able to reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes.

Deferred Gifts

You can arrange for a gift to be made at a future date, generally through your will, living trust, IRA or other retirement plan. Deferred gifts generally provide no current tax benefits but may reduce taxes paid by your estate and your heirs.
