Learn which assets are most commonly used to fund a gift.
Stocks & Bonds
Giving long-term appreciated stock is one of the most tax advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting MCPHS.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding MCPHS's future.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. It can be made without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages and make a significant charitable gift to MCPHS.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support MCPHS.
The IRA Gift
Here is a tax-smart way to make an impact for MCPHS using your qualified retirement plan. The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to MCPHS and satisfy your required minimum distribution.
