Smart Giving
Give smarter, not harder.
We’ve made it easy to make an impact today. Select from the options below to get started.
There are many ways to make a difference beyond your bank account. By donating non-cash or appreciated assets, you represent a smarter generation of donors who realize how to maximize your giving by receiving tax benefits and increasing your impact at the same time.
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account. You contribute to the fund as frequently as you like and then recommend grants to nonprofits, all while potentially earning immediate tax benefits.
Donating appreciated stocks and securities can provide substantial support to our cause. It can potentially help you avoid capital gains taxes and claim a tax deduction based on the full market value of the stocks.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
You can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly to Children’s Medical Center Foundation from your retirement account, including an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b). If you are required to take a minimum distribution based on your age, you can also transfer those funds directly to Children’s Health to avoid income tax implications.
Cryptocurrency donations are a new, tax-efficient way to give. By donating cryptocurrency, you potentially avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation and can deduct the fair market value of the asset on your tax return.
