What is Gift Planning?

Gift planning is charitable giving coordinated with your charitable financial, tax and estate goals. Good planning with tax-wise gifting strategies enables you to make significant charitable gifts during life and after you pass away.

IRA Giving

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Gifts of Stock / Appreciated Assets

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to our organization.
