Ways To Give

You can mail us a check or arrange for a wire transfer. You may also give gifts of $100 or more via credit card on our donor portal.

A stock contribution is valued based on IRS regulations and determined by the mean of the high and low value of the security on the day it is credited to the Foundation’s brokerage account or the day that the certificate is in the custody of the Foundation.

You can transfer an interest in these entities prior to sale, merger, or other liquidation event; proceeds will be allocated to the charitable fund upon sale.

Annual distributions from IRAs can be directed to the Foundation and certain types of funds; but under current law, not to donor-advised funds.

Designation of death proceeds to the Foundation from an insurance policy can be stipulated in any amount and for any fund type. Ownership of a life insurance policy can be transferred as a gift to the Foundation as well for a deduction of the policy's present value. Premiums must be paid in full.

We can accept your primary or other personal residence, farm, commercial buildings, income-producing or undeveloped land. A checklist of requirements and process steps is available for review. Interests in real estate are gifted through our supporting organization (Real Estate Foundation), which has a separate Board of Directors to review these gifts. The gift process for these assets requires approval by the Board, indemnification for risks incurred by the Foundation, and an undertaking by the donor to reimburse the Foundation for holding costs.

We can accept gifts of tangible personal property, which may include artwork, antiques, jewelry, and collectibles, and shall be examined in consideration of specific guidelines, including fulfillment of the Foundation's mission, marketability, restrictions, and carrying costs. Vehicles, boats, and similar property will generally not be accepted.

The Foundation qualifies as a charitable organization to receive annual or remainder distributions from your charitable trust. The assets received are then available to support nonprofits or programs of your choosing. The Foundation does not offer trustee services at this time.

We can accept cryptocurrency gifts, but only those which are readily marketable will be considered. Generally, all cryptocurrencies shall be sold immediately and will be converted to U.S. Dollars as quickly as administratively possible when the gift is received.
