Planned, Tax-Smart Ways to Give
We’ll start by saying you should always consult a tax professional, but here are some ways to make the most of your donation to Family Equality. Read more and then consult your trusted tax or financial advisor.
Maximize your giving power
Qualified charitable distributions: If you are 70 and a half years old or order, you can give up to $100,000 per year from your IRA.
Non-cash assets: Donating certain non-cash assets such as stock, bonds, securities, tangible personal property, or real estate can support our work for LGBTQ+ families — while providing you with significant tax benefits.
Donor Advised funds (DFAs): These funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to charitable organizations such as Family Equality whenever it makes sense for them.
