Appreciated Securities
A popular alternative to cash is the gift of appreciated securities. Generally, in addition to receiving an income-tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock, the donor avoids any potential tax on the capital gain of the securities assuming the appropriate holding period has been satisfied.
Charitable Bequests
Charitable bequests can allow donors to make significant contributions to the Department that they would not have been able to make during life while reducing estate tax liabilities. Bequests by will may provide the Department with a specific dollar amount or property, a percentage of the estate, a residual amount, or a contingency bequest.
Other Vehicles
Other vehicles, such as Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, gifts of real estate with or without retained life interests, or life insurance can also be an attractive and suitable means of donating to the Department. If you need any further information on how to donate to the Department, feel free to email us.
