Asset Giving
Rather than a traditional cash donation, many donors are opting for smarter giving. You can donate non-cash options to Tri-Lakes Cares that not only support our mission but may also offer you a variety of tax benefits.
Explore different options such as securely donating stocks, cryptocurrency, gifts from your IRA, or making a grant from a donor-advised fund. Our fully integrated tool makes it seamless and easy.
Please consult with your tax advisor or financial professional before making a decision about Smart Giving.
Stocks
Donating stocks enables you to bypass capital gains tax and frequently qualify for a charitable deduction equivalent to the asset's full value.
IRA
If you're 70.5 years or older, contributing from your IRA can effectively lower your taxable income and can meet the RMD obligation as well.
Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are another donation alternative and they serve as an investment account specifically designed to support charitable organizations.
Cryptocurrency
Can you donate Crypto? Yes, we now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This is another option for tax benefits.
