​but how much love we put into our giving.”

Additional Giving
Opportunities

Here are several of the less known ways to give a gift to the HC Community Care Center & Food Pantry.
​​​​​​GIFTS FROM BEQUESTS
A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust account/fund.  It is one of the most popular and flexible ways you can support our organization.
  • This type of gift does not impact your current income as the gift is made when your will or trust account/fund is activated
  • With the help of your legal advisor you can include language in your will or trust account/fund to include support of our organization along with your family
  • Your tax advisor can advise you on the tax advantages of the numerous ways to leave a legacy
​GIFTS OF INSURANCE
A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift.  If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose (i.e. provided for minor children who are now adults) consider donating the policy to our organization.
  • You have the option of gifting the policy by making our organization the policy owner or you can retain ownership and make us a partial or full beneficiary
  • The tax benefits vary based on whether you make our organization the owner or if you name our organization as a beneficiary
  • Ask your insurance agent which option provides you the greatest benefits
​GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE
Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, or farm/ranch land can make a valuable gift.
  • Avoid paying capital gains tax on the gift of the real estate
  • Receive a potential charitable income tax deduction (based on your tax filing status)
  • Important to transfer ownership, not sell, the real estate to the organization in order to receive the tax benefits
​GIFTS OF RETIREMENT ASSETS
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension fund, or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent tax-advantaged gift. Contact your retirement account administrator or financial advisor for the benefits and how to make the gift. 
  • Retirement funds invested pre-tax are the most heavily taxed assets to your heirs, thus they are the most beneficial to gift to a non-profit organization such as ours
  • Your heirs would avoid costly income tax on these gifted pre-tax basis retirement funds
  • These gifts avoid potential estate tax (based on the size of your estate)
Special opportunity if you are 70½ or older:
  • If you are 70½ or older you can rollover up to $100,000 from your IRA to our organization annually
  • Some or all of the “rollover” amount may satisfy some or all of your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
  • Reducing or eliminating your RMD will reduce your taxable income even if you don’t itemize​
​Gifts of Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Funds
Donating appreciated securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift of support.
  • Avoid paying capital gains taxes on the gifted appreciated stock
  • Receive a potential charitable income tax deduction (based on your tax filing status)
  • Important to transfer ownership (NOT sell!) the investment security to the organization in order to receive the tax benefits
