Gift of Real Estate
A charitable gift unearthed.
Making a charitable gift of real estate through your local community foundation can help you turn your property gains into community good. The value of your real estate may exceed that of any other asset you own. With the help of your community foundation, you can use it to fulfill your charitable interests and receive financial and tax benefits.

Gift of Life Insurance
Community as your beneficiary.

Retirement Plan Beneficiaries.
Working to provide for the future.
Retirement plans provide an opportunity for you to help plan for your community's future. They can be one of the most effective assets to transfer to your local community foundation because retirement plans produce taxable income. By naming your local community foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, you could receive a number of benefits.

Gift of Appreciated Stock
Turning stock market gains into community investment.
Everybody wins when you make a gift of appreciated stock to your local community foundation. Your gains are put to good use. Your gift of stock is reinvested in your community, and it qualifies for an immediate tax deduction based on the full market value and avoids capital gains tax.
