Donations Can Take Many Forms
Gifts can take many forms. There are many ways that you can make a gift to the Windsor Education Foundation. When making a donation here are some things to consider to maximize the potential of your donation.
Check For Matching Gift Opportunities.
Your company may match a percentage of your charitable contribution, up to 100%, for gifts to certain types of institutions. Ask your company if it has a program. You may have to get a form from your company and send it to us. Matching gifts are credited to your personal giving record.
IRA Rollover Opportunity
For 2007 and possibly longer taxpayers 701/2 and older can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to non-profits form their IRA's without triggering federal income tax on the IRA contribution. Such gifts contribute toward a person's required minimum distribution, which would usually be taxed. For some taxpayers making a gift this way will have the same tax consequences as taking a taxable IRA distribution and writing a check to a non-profit, but his new IRA rollover is particularly useful for people who don't itemize their deduction.
Give Shares Of Stock Instead Of Cash
Consider contributing appreciated assets such as stocks and mutual fund shares rather than cash. Let's say you have $10,000 of stock that you purchased years ago for $1000. If you wanted to sell these stock and move your money elsewhere, you would have to pay a federal capital-gains tax on your $9000 gain at rates up to 15% - plus a brokerage commission and maybe state tax as well. You can avoid paying tax on the gain if you donate the securities, and can then deduct the market value of the shares as a charitable gift if you itemize deductions. To give appreciated stock, you must have held it for more than one year and it must be publicly traded.
