For Others, Forever: Tax-Smart Ways to Give

Tax-smart ways to give

Thank you for all you do for Holy Cross. As you plan your year–end giving, consider these tax-smart options:

  • Appreciated securities: Give stock or mutual fund shares to avoid capital gains tax.
  • IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): If you are 70½ or older, give directly from your IRA.
  • Donor–advised fund (DAF): Recommend a grant today.

P.S. To count for this tax year, please complete your gift by December 31. We recommend making your request at least three weeks in advance.
