Make A Gift

Some of the most common ways of giving are listed below (for a more detailed copy of this information, please click here!)

1. Pledge (one, two or three years)

2. Cash (check or credit card)

3. Securities

Appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares that you’ve held for more than one year.

4. Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charitable organization.

5. Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

When you reach age 72, you’re required to withdraw a certain amount of money from your certain retirement accounts each year. Giving your RMD directly to a nonprofit organization provides tax advantages.

6. Bequests

Because of the cash needs of a capital campaign, certain criteria must be met in order to qualify a bequest as a gift to the campaign.

For other forms of charitable gifts that offer other advantages, please contact your attorney or financial advisor.
