What to Give

Find out what types of assets make the best gifts.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to a fund at the Community Foundation.

Gifts of Real Estate

Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property makes a large charitable impact.

Gifts of Retirement Assets

Donating to a fund at the Community Foundation through turning your IRA?s Required Minimum Distribution into a Qualified Charitable Deduction or naming the fund as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift.

Gifts of Cash

A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift.

Gifts of Life Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to our organization. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.

Gifts of Mineral Interests

A gift of mineral interests (oil, gas, gold, silver or other precious metals) is an excellent way to make a charitable gift.

Gifts of Farm Interests

Donating your farm interests, including land, grain, machinery, livestock and your farm, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift.

What is Gift Planning?

Gift planning is charitable giving coordinated with your charitable financial, tax and estate goals. Good planning with tax-wise gifting strategies enables you to make significant charitable gifts during life and after you pass away.
