Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
Donor Advised Funds are quickly becoming a popular way to make tax-deductible donations.
DAFs allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to their favorite charitable organizations at a time or schedule that meets their needs.
Most investment institutions (such as Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, etc.) offer a DAF. Please contact your investment firm for details.
Planned Giving Opportunities
IRA Rollover
IRA owners age 70½ or over can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions or QCDs, offer eligible older Americans a great way to easily give to charity before the end of the year. Moreover, for those who are at least 72, QCDs count toward the IRA owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. (Source: IRS Website)
Bequests
Bequests are a wonderful way to extend your generosity into the future. A bequest gift made through your will or trust is a great way to ensure Serenity can be a wonderful steward of your legacy.
Gifts of Stocks and Real Estate
Another opportunity to benefit Serenity is through the gift of stocks, mutual funds, securities or real estate. Often there are tax-advantages for the donor.
