Popular Options
Basic choices that appeal to donors of different ages and financial situations.
- Direct transfer of stock to CVM (or certain other appreciated securities). This is easy to do at any time and can be more tax efficient than first selling the stock and then giving CVM the cash.
- Charitable bequest to CVM This is a portion of your will or a living trust that authorizes a gift to CVM once your life has ended. You can leave a sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of the residue of your estate, i.e., what remains after making other bequests and paying estate expenses.
- IRA, 401(k) or other retirement plan assets to CVM Depending on your eligibility for withdrawal, these assets can have tax advantages. The process for making such a gift is typically straightforward.
- Life insurance benefits to CVM This option is attractive and affordable for many donors at any age.
- Beneficiary designation to CVM An end-of-life gift is a possibility with many other common arrangements, including annuity contracts, bank accounts, and brokerage accounts. There are also appealing ways to gift savings bonds now or upon death.
Each of these giving methods offers various tax and financial advantages and can also help you simplify your affairs.
