Donating appreciated securities is a great way for you to make a gift to CARE. You can deduct the full present fair market value and you owe no tax on the appreciation in value. Stockbrokers require delivery instructions in writing.
Please also contact Connie Cardinal, Executive Director, at 320-968-7848 or conniec@CAREelders.org with your name, type of stock, and the number of shares so we can provide documentation for your tax deduction.
A gift of your life insurance is an excellent way to make a gift to CARE. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. Contact your insurance provider, request a beneficiary designation form and include CARE as the beneficiary of your policy.
Including CARE-Community Action Respecting Elders in your will is an easy way to make a generous gift to CARE. In your will, you have choices about how you name CARE as a beneficiary.
Sample language for Wills & Trusts:
I give and devise to CARE-Community Action Respecting Elders, a not-for-profit corporation of the State of Minnesota, _____ percent of my estate (or the residue or the sum of money $______; or the properties, securities, etc. described herein) to be used for its unrestricted purposes, or for its endowment.
If you already have a will it is very easy to add a codicil to your will, which designates CARE as one of your beneficiaries.
At age 72, IRA owners are required by law to take mandatory minimum distributions. An increasingly popular way to make gifts tax-free, transfers to CARE must be made directly from the IRA or by writing a check from the IRA up to a $100,000 limit. Now that the IRA Charitable Rollover legislation is passed permanently, this enables donors to plan each year in advance.
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA (IRA charitable Rollover), 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift. Benefits of gifts of retirement assets:
To leave your retirement assets to CARE, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate CARE as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your IRA assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
