Strategic Giving

Strategic giving empowers you to make a profound and deliberate impact through your charitable contributions. Meticulous planning can optimize your giving and align your personal values and philanthropic aspirations. Explore various avenues, including cash donations, stock contributions, and more, to contribute strategically.

IRA Distributions

If you are 72 years of age or older, you have the unique opportunity to make tax-free donations directly from your IRA. These contributions, known as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), offer tax advantages, regardless of whether you itemize deductions on your tax return. QCDs can also effectively reduce your taxable income and serve as a smart strategy, particularly if you are subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). Be sure to consult your tax advisor for personalized guidance.

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

Leveraging a donor-advised fund (DAF) provides you with the flexibility to determine the amount and frequency of your contributions to organizations like ours. You can extend your impact by designating Tithle as a beneficiary, ensuring the continuity of our mission beyond your lifetime. To get started, simply contact your fund administrator to recommend grants or specify Tithle as a beneficiary. Don't forget to inform Tithle of your generosity, so we can express our gratitude.

Gifts of Stock

Contributing appreciated stocks and securities offers an efficient and tax-friendly way to support individuals facing financial hardships, such as cancer patients. You may qualify for a tax deduction based on the full fair-market value of these assets while avoiding capital gains taxes.

Bequests by Will

Bequests represent a popular method of leaving a lasting legacy. By specifying in your will the organizations, like Tithle, that will receive contributions, you can ensure your support continues even after your passing. Bequests are uncomplicated, adaptable, and versatile. A few sentences in your will written with the appropriate legal bequest language is all it takes. You can modify your will at any time to reflect changes in your wishes. Bequests can encompass various assets, from monetary gifts to cherished possessions or a portion of your estate. Furthermore, they qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction for their full value.

Beneficiary Designations

Designating organizations, like Tithle, as beneficiaries of your assets, IRAs, retirement plans, life insurance, or insurance annuities can serve dual purposes: supporting our mission and providing your heirs with substantial tax benefits. While most retirement plans remain tax-free during your lifetime, they can face substantial taxes, up to nearly 40%, upon your passing. Life insurance policies offer a cost-effective means of making a significant gift, and insurance annuities, when donated to a charitable organization like ours, protect your beneficiaries from potential tax burdens.
