Other Ways to Give

Retirement Funds

If you are age 59½ or older and have accumulated a surplus in your IRA account—more than you will need for retirement—you can withdraw any amount from your IRA and gift those funds to any public charity and receive a charitable deduction of the entire amount of the gift.

Securities

Taylor accepts charitable gifts of stock. This may be a cost-effective way to make a gift of stock, owned for more than a year, receiving a fair market value charitable deduction and avoiding capital gains taxes.

Company Stock/Units

Business owners can gift stock and/or units from their business and receive a full income tax deduction for the gift and then gift the tax savings.

Other Non-cash Assets

Non-Cash assets such as real estate, closely-held small business interests, paid up insurance policies, or other marketable assets.

Cryptocurrency

Giving appreciated cryptocurrency may provide a tax deduction equal to the fair market value (as determined by a qualified appraisal) and avoid the capital gains tax if you were to sell the asset. Our regular online giving site takes cryptocurrency.
