Your financial or tax advisor can help you discover what type of legacy gift is right for you.
Make a Gift of Stock
Despite uncertainty and fluctuations in the market, many people still have stock in their portfolio that has appreciated in value since the time of purchase. Benefits of giving stock include charitable tax deductions and the ability to save cash for your future needs. Check with your financial advisor about making a gift of stock to Pathfinders.
Make a Gift of Retirement Assets
People over age 70 ½ can make a charitable gift from their IRA. These donations are called Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) and are an excellent way to make a significant gift to Pathfinders, fulfill your required minimum distribution and reduce your taxable income. You can also name Pathfinders as a beneficiary on your IRA or retirement plan.
