Donate
Stock
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use Freewill’s tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. Prefer to make your donation through your broker? Access our transfer information to notify Search for Common Ground of your gift.
Donor Advised Fund (DAFs)
These are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies Search for Common Ground of your intentions.
Employer Match
Search your employer and double (or even triple) your impact.
IRA Giving
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
