Gifts of Appreciated Stock

Giving appreciated stock that you’ve held for more than one year allows you the opportunity to claim a charitable deduction for the value of the stock and avoid capital gains taxes. Designating a portion of a brokerage account for Children’s in your estate helps the transformational work of Children’s continue for the next generation.

Gifts from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

Donors age 70.5 or older can make a charitable gift from their IRA. These distributions are excluded from income and count toward the annual required minimum distribution. Using an IRA instead of cash for your gift to Children’s can support your financial and estate planning goals.

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

A DAF is a flexible, convenient way to manage your charitable giving. Recommending a grant from your DAF to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta can help our Mission now. You can invest in the future of Children’s by completing a simple form at your DAF provider. This will direct any funds remaining after your lifetime to our Mission.

 

Life Insurance Policies

A gift of life insurance can provide a significant charitable deduction. You could purchase a new policy or donate a policy that you currently own, but no longer need. To receive a deduction, designate Children’s as both the owner and beneficiary of the life insurance policy. Ask your insurance agent for details.

 

Gifts of Real Estate

A gift of real estate can also provide favorable tax advantages. A residence, vacation home, farm, acreage or vacant lot may have appreciated enough in value through the years that its sale would mean a sizeable capital gains tax. By making a gift of this property, you may avoid the capital gains tax and, at the same time, receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.
