Giving for Donors

Make an Impact in your community!

How to Donate

Many individuals reach a stage in their life where they are moved to give back, each for reasons deeply personal to them. What drives you? It could be a strong commitment to a cause, the impact of an organization on your life or that of your loved ones. You might wish to establish a legacy and set an example that encourages others to give, or you see giving as an opportunity to unite your family and impart your values to the next generation.
Deciding What and How to Give

Gifts often provide significant opportunities for tax deductions. Many opt to donate during years of high income to offset their taxes with deductions. Donating appreciated securities or real estate can help avoid taxes on the sale of these assets. Charitable bequests are also an important consideration in estate planning for heirs.
