Additional Ways to Give
Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are at least 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs) through your IRA to STARability Foundation. QCDs are excluded from income taxes up to $100,000. Distributions typically must be made by Dec. 31, so they are a great way to make your year-end gifts.
Employer Matching Gift Program
A matching gift program is an admirable way to increase employee engagement and donations while multiplying the positive impact on STARability and elevating your company’s reputation. As employees donate to our STARs, your company can match their contributions creating a win-win-win.
Appreciated Stock
Giving stock that has appreciated in value directly to STARability Foundation can provide you with tax benefits.
Donor-Advised Fund
Think of a donor-advised fund as a charitable investment account. You donate cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund held at a public charity, like a community foundation, or a fund company. You get an immediate tax deduction for your gift, while the donation is invested and grows. You then can recommend that a grant be made to STARability Foundation.
