Maximize the Impact of Your Gift

Every day, generous gifts from donors like you make great memories possible for the youth in our community. There are several ways to make a gift and realize tax saving benefits.

Consider the tax advantages of the following giving strategies.

APPRECIATED SECURITIES

 A gift of appreciated securities (stocks, mutual funds) could exceed the benefits of a cash gift by providing additional tax savings, including:

  • Avoid capital gains tax.
  • Provide a charitable deduction against annual taxable income.

CHARITABLE IRA TRANSFER

Are you age 70 1/2 or older? If so, you can transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to CYO/Camp Howard. You don't pay taxes on the withdrawal, and your transfer may meet part or all of your required minimum distribution.

  • To qualify your transfer must be made directly from your IRA plan administrator to CYO/Camp Howard. (You won't pay taxes on the transfer, so there is no additional income tax deduction.

A LIFE INCOME GIFT 

Generate income for life and tax savings for you with a charitable remainder trust.

  • You can use cash, stock, mutual funds or real estate to fund a charitable remainder trust.
  • You qualify for an annual income tax charitable deduction that can carry forward for 5 years.
  • If you donate appreciated stock, mutual funds or real estate, you avoid capital gains tax.
  • Depending on your age, you receive an income for a period of years or life that is based on a percentage of the trust's initial fair market value.
  • Consult your tax adviser for more details.
  • At the end of the trust term, the remainder goes to CYO/Camp Howard to benefit youth who participate in our programs.

Please contact Sister Krista von Borstel, Executive Director, to discuss these options further.

Thank you for supporting CYO/Camp Howard.
Many blessings to you and your family.
