Innovative Ways Our Supporters Contribute to Meaningful Change
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
If you are 72 years or older (or 73 if you turn 72 after December 31, 2022), you may be required to take distributions from your retirement account. Consider donating all or part of your RMD directly to support Edwards Center, which may help reduce your taxable income while maximizing your charitable impact!
Gifts of Securities
Consider donating stocks or mutual funds to maximize your impact while minimizing your tax liability. By contributing shares, you can potentially avoid paying capital gains taxes and enjoy a full income tax deduction based on the fair market value of your donation.
Donor Advised Funds
Many of our generous supporters choose to give through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). Platforms like Charles Schwab and Fidelity Charitable simplify the process of donating non-cash assets. You can contribute various assets, including stocks, real estate, private equity, hedge fund interests, and even cryptocurrency.
Employer Matching Programs
Many companies offer matching gift programs that can double your charitable contributions. Check with your employer to see if they participate in such programs, as this is an excellent way to amplify your support.
Planned Giving
Leave a lasting legacy by incorporating a planned gift or bequest into your estate planning. Designate the Edwards Center in your will or as a beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund or retirement account and play a vital role in improving our community's future without impacting your current financial situation.
Monthly Giving – Edwards Circle of Friends!
Join a community of donors by setting up recurring monthly contributions. You choose the donation amount, and you can easily establish it through your checking account, credit card, or employer payroll deductions. You can even make contributions using your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or IRA. Plus, if your situation changes, you're free to cancel at any time!
