Thinking Beyond the Checkbook
Donate Stock
Donating shares of appreciated stock to CHP will save income tax while also eliminating capital gains tax on the stocks that you transfer. You can ultimately donate more value in a stock transfer than if you were to sell the stock and donate the cash value. Complete a stock transfer form from your financial institution and include the information about which stock you would like to donate and CHP’s information.
Donate From Your IRA
For donors over certain ages, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from your IRA to CHP are tax-free and can satisfy your distribution requirements. For those above the age at which you are required to make withdrawals from your 401(k) or IRA, a QCD can count but would not be considered taxable income.
Give Through a Donor Advised Fund
Donor advised funds (DAF) are investment accounts managed and invested by a sponsoring organization that allow you to select CHP as an organization that you will support for one-time or recurring philanthropic gifts. Choose to fund your DAF with cash, stocks, personal property, or real estate and you will receive a federal income tax deduction.
Look into Employer Matching Programs
Some employers, particularly larger companies, offer gift-matching programs where they will match the amount of your donation to a qualified charity up to a certain amount. Check with your employer’s HR department to see if they will double your gift to CHP so that you can increase your gift’s impact!
Consider a Legacy Gift
With a legacy gift, you can have a lasting impact by continuing to support CHP’s mission after you have passed. Be remembered forever by CHP with a gift in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy.
Contribute to CHP’s New Endowment Fund
In 2024, CHP received its largest ever individual donation which was partially used to establish an endowment that has been invested to support future CHP needs. Help us continue to grow this exciting fund by making a contribution today!
