Charitable Tax-Smart Giving Options
Why Consider Tax-Smart Giving?
Your charitable giving can be both impactful and practical, helping you give in ways that align with your financial goals, personal values, and long-term plans. Whether you’re looking to reduce your tax burden or make a larger impact than you thought possible, smart giving can help you do so.
With the right approach, you can:
- Maximize your charitable impact
- Take advantage of potential tax benefits
- Support children and families in lasting ways
Ways to Give Smarter
There are several ways to give that may offer added benefits for you and your family while strengthening the communities we serve.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
Recommend a grant to Caritas Family Solutions through your donor-advised fund. This is a simple, flexible way to support children and families while maximizing your charitable giving.
Just search for our legal name, Caritas Family Solutions Foundation, and our EIN (33-2280162) in your fund portal.
Stock or Securities
Donating appreciated stocks or securities can provide tax advantages while supporting our mission.
IRA Charitable Gifts (QCDs)
If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly from your IRA. This can help reduce taxable income while making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Gifts of Specific Assets
You may find that a gift of real estate, personal property, artwork, collectibles, or other valuable assets may provide substantial benefit to those we serve without the need to sell the item or property first. Your tax advisor can help show you how this may offset taxes in your current filings.
