- Share This Story
There’s still time to help the Jewish Cleveland community – and perhaps yourself, too – in 2018!
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES:
- Transfer stock to the Federation from your brokerage account
- Apply your donation to pay a campaign pledge, add to a donor advised fund, or create a new one
- Generate an immediate tax deduction
- Avoid capital gains taxes
IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER:
- Satisfies your annual required minimum distribution, or RMD, up to $100,000
- Allows you to give from pre-tax assets and your distribution is exluded from taxable income
- It's easy – just notify your IRA custodian
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS:
- Donate cash, securities, or other property to the Federation to establish a donor advised fund
- The Federation invests the fund's assets and processes grant recommendations to qualified charities
- "Bundle" your giving for maximum tax savings
- The fund you establish is at your fingertips with our online portal
- Minimum fee waived for donors under age 45
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES:
- Increase lifetime income
- Receive partially tax-free payments
- Bypass some capital gains on gifts of appreciated assets, such as stock
- Receive a substantial income tax deduction
- Gift annuity payments are based on the age of the annuitants – the older you are, the higher the rate and the more you will receive
