Donors are encouraged to consult with a professional advisor to determine a tax-advantageous planned giving option for their philanthropic intentions.

  • Gift of Cash or Securities

    Write a check, transfer long-term appreciated stock or other securities, or give online today. Immediate charitable deduction of full fair market value.  Avoidance of capital gains tax. Removes taxable assets from the estate.
