Year-End Giving Tips



Year-End Giving Tips:

Take advantage of the charitable tax deduction for gifts made before December 31.
  • Evaluate the benefit of donating appreciated assets versus cash.
    Giving appreciated assets allows you to avoid the capital gains tax
    and you may claim the fair market value as your contribution.

  • Allow enough time to complete your charitable gift transaction. The
    time required will vary with the type of asset to be donated and the
    gift option you choose.

  • Consider the variety of gift options available to you, such as a
    charitable gift annuity or a charitable trust, which would also
    provide you with income.
