Gifts of appreciated publicly traded securities that you have held for longer than 12 months allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date the gift is made while avoiding tax on the capital gain.
Instructions and associated information to transfer securities here.
Kindly inform us when you authorize the transfer of securities so that we can attribute the gift to you.
The Jackson Center welcomes gifts through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), a type of giving fund administered by a third party such as a community foundation or financial institution. DAFs allow you to make a charitable contribution of cash, securities, or other assets to the fund, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from your DAF account over time to the nonprofits you wish to support.
Giving a gift to the Jackson Center from your DAF is not only convenient and easy for you, but it makes an undeniable impact on our work.
A few things to know:
Please use the link below to select your Donor Advised Fund and begin the process of recommending a gift to the Jackson Center. Please make sure your name and membership number are located on the check or supporting documentation.
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit the Jackson Center and receive tax benefits in return. You can give any amount up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
Why Consider This Gift?
Employees and retirees of hundreds of companies may be eligible to participate in the Employer Matching Gift Program, sometimes doubling or even tripling the impact of gifts made to the Jackson Center.
Whether currently employed or retired, your employer may amplify your individual support while your employer can benefit through unrestricted tax-deductible contributions.
Please check with your company’s human resources department to inquire as to their process for filing for a matching gift.
You can leave a lasting legacy by providing a gift to the Jackson Center in your will or estate plan. This can be completed in as little as one sentence and allows you flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change.
