Tax Smart: Give Stock
Consider the gift of stock to make a difference in your life as well as one of our students. When you give appreciated stock that you’ve owned for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction when you itemize.
Every dollar counts.
Your donation is an investment to change a life forever.

Utilize Your IRA
If you are 70½ years old or older, you are eligible to receive tax benefits for your donations to Make A Difference Now. You can give any amount up to $108,000 per year from your IRA directly to Make A Difference Now without having to pay income taxes on the money. This is a gift option known as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and is something you don’t want to miss out on. It’s often called the IRA charitable rollover and it’s a great way to make a difference while also minimizing your taxes!
