Assets That Work Well for Lifetime Giving
Many donors choose to make charitable gifts during their lifetime using assets that offer immediate impact and potential tax benefit.
Cryptocurrency
Digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum can be donated directly to Gulf Coast, avoiding capital gains taxes and allowing donors to deduct the fair market value of the gift. Visit our Giving Block!
Marketable Securities
Gifting publicly traded stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have appreciated in value allows donors to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.
Privately Held Stock
Donating shares of a closely held business can reduce or eliminate capital gains on a future sale, create immediate tax benefits, and help establish a lasting charitable legacy.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate such as a home, land, or commercial property can remove a large taxable asset from your estate, provide a charitable deduction, and make a transformational impact on the community.
Credit Card
Utilizing a credit card makes giving fast and convenient, especially for year-end donations. Plus many donors often earn rewards or points while supporting their favorite causes and may still claim a charitable deduction. You can give online today!
Cash
Simple and immediate, cash gifts are flexible and offer the most straightforward charitable deduction for the year the gift is made.
