Charitable Planning Options

Donor advised funds
If you want flexibility and great tax benefits, then a donor advised fund could be the way to go. You get an immediate tax deduction and can gift the money to non-profits in future years.
Highly-appreciated assets
Donating appreciated stock or mutual fund shares can be a great tax strategy. You avoid tax on the gain while deducting for the full market value.
Tax-free donation from IRA
You can make a tax-free donation from your IRA to a non-profit – avoiding tax on the distribution.
