Types of Donations
Gift of Stock and Securities
You can make a gift of appreciated stocks or securities via a direct transfer to our brokerage account. Your charitable deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of transfer and you avoid owing the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock.
In Honor of...
Whether it is a holiday, birthday or other special day, honor a special someone, or celebrate a special occasion in this meaningful way. Your contribution will be acknowledged with a card to the person being honored to let them know of your gift.
In Memory of...
A gift made “In Memory of” is a meaningful way to pay tribute to a colleague or friend and support the mission of Gathering for Women in their name. Your contribution will be acknowledged with a card to the family member or person you direct us to, to let them know of your memorial gift.
Bequest
You can create a legacy through a bequest — a gift in your will or trust. Bequests can be simple and convenient and we will be glad to discuss options with you. Your legacy to Gathering for Women can be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. You can designate your bequest for general use, or restrict its use.
IRA Rollover
As of 2015, IRA holders may make distributions directly to charity, allowing donors to make an immediate difference, while avoiding income taxes on the amount gifted. An IRA charitable rollover is a distribution from an IRA holder who 70 ½ years or older to an eligible charitable organization. There are many benefits to the donor who donate using an IRA. Please contact your tax expert for advice and guidance regarding a gift via IRA rollover.
