What to Give
A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift. All cash donations receive a charitable tax deduction and an annual tax statement upon request.
Some retirement assets require distribution when you reach the age of 70 ½. Contributing those assets to IBE can reduce your taxable income.
Donating securities, such as stocks or bonds, is a tax efficient method of giving. Gifts of appreciated securities can reduce or avoid capital gains tax. (Broker authorization form is available by request)
A donation of property can make a great gift. If you own appreciated property, you can avoid paying capital gains tax by donating it to IBE.
