How You Give Matters
Whether you support your church, your alma mater, or the causes closest to your heart, thoughtful giving strategies can help you give more – while keeping more of what you’ve built working for your family.
Tax-Smart Ways to Give
Donate Appreciated Securities
Giving stock instead of writing a check can help you avoid capital gains taxes while supporting the causes you care about.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you’re 70½ or older, giving directly from your IRA can satisfy required minimum distributions while reducing your taxable income.
Donor Advised Funds
Contribute now, grant to charities over time, and optimize your tax deduction.
