Outright Gifts
The most direct method of giving to the Institute for Global Ethics is with an outright gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other tangible personal property. Outright gifts may be given in one donation, or with several donations over two or more years. Contributing an outright gift may yield an immediate tax deduction. Employers frequently match outright gifts, if the donor works for a company or corporation that has a matching gift program.
Recurring Gifts
For those donors who would like to contribute on a monthly, bi-monthly or other recurring basis, the Institute can accommodate your specific needs.
Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, and Other Types of Securities
Real estate, stocks, bonds, or other types of securities that have appreciated in value since the time they were purchased make excellent gifts. By donating these items to a charitable organization, donors may receive capital gains exemptions. In most cases, such gifts also yield a charitable deduction equal to the full market value of the gift at the time of the transfer.
Donors may receive tax deductions for the full, current market value of works of art, rare books, boats, antiques, and other tangible property.
For More Information
To find out more about these and other gift options, please consult with your legal or financial advisor to discuss their benefits and to ensure that you receive the tax benefits you desire. Highly technical rules govern certain types of charitable giving. While Institute for Global Ethics staff do not provide professional advice on estate planning, they are happy to discuss with you and your professional advisors, in confidence, gift opportunities that help ensure your needs are met.
