Increasing Your Donation Options & Tax Benefits

Donating Appreciated Stock
Donating stock or property to the Rose Foundation can produce a variety of tax benefits:

• Maximize Tax Deduction
  Donors who contribute stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares that have been held for more than one year are entitled to an income tax deduction for the donated assets’ full market value, avoiding all capital gains liability on the securities' appreciation. If the value of the donation exceeds 30% of the donor's adjusted gross income, the excess may be carried forward for up to five years.
  
  
• Avoid Capital Gains Tax on the Sale of Appreciated Securities
  By giving securities directly instead of selling stock to fund a cash donation, donors avoid capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated securities.

Wills and Bequests
Donors may significantly reduce estate taxes by including the Rose Foundation in their will, living trust, retirement plan or insurance policy. It is possible to structure a gift so that the donor receives income and/or the use of the property for the remainder of his or her life, while providing for the long-term security of the Rose Foundation. Donating highly-appreciated, long-term securities can protect a charitable deduction and estate value from a future market downturn.

Donating Property
A gift of a residence, farm, vacation home or other property can reduce income and/or capital gains tax liability, eliminate carrying costs, and remove the property from the donor's taxable estate.

Charitable Remainder Trusts & Charitable Gift Annuities
These options can provide an immediate tax advantage and reduce future estate taxes while providing lifetime income for the donor and/or a beneficiary. In many cases, the new lifetime income stream may greatly exceed the current income produced by a highly-appreciated (but low-dividend) stock.

Charitable Gift Annuity minimum gift: $10,000

Charitable Remainder Trust minimum gift: $100,000
