Giving During Your Lifetime
Cash gifts are one of the simplest and most flexible ways to give.
You can make an immediate impact by donating online, mailing a check or making a wire transfer. Every gift helps create opportunities and strengthen our community.
Best for: Anyone looking for a simple way to support local causes.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you're eligible, you may be able to make a charitable gift directly from your IRA.
A Qualified Charitable Distribution can be a tax-efficient way to support the community while fulfilling charitable goals during your lifetime.
Best for: Donors who want to maximize the impact of retirement assets.
Please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine whether a QCD is right for you.
Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated stock can be a powerful way to support the community.
Many donors choose this option because it may offer potential tax advantages while allowing them to make a larger charitable impact than they expected. Your investment gains can help make more possible for local nonprofits, students and community initiatives.
Best for: Donors with appreciated securities who want to maximize their giving.
