Ways to Give

AS AN INDIVIDUAL

MAKE A ONE-TIME GIFT


Your contribution directly supports program classes like financial literacy, trauma healing, and life skills.

BECOME AN IMPACT SEEKER

A monthly contribution ensures that the women in our program are supported year-round. Impact Seekers recieve exclusive access to the Impact Seeker’s Newsletter, which is a quarterly insider look at daily program operations.

CONTRIBUTE TO A DAF

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity.

You want your charitable donations to be as effective as possible when you give. Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity.

SET UP A QCD

A qualified charitable distribution, or QCD, is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.

In addition to the benefits of giving to charity, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare.

Also, QCDs don’t require that you itemize, which due to the recent tax law changes, means you may decide to take advantage of the higher standard deduction, but still use a QCD for charitable giving.

DONATE A GIFT OF STOCK

Increase your gift to charity and your tax deduction with one simple strategy by donating stock to your favorite charity. It’s simple and easy. When you donate stock to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value without any capital gains tax to pay.

INCLUDE WBP IN YOUR PLANNED GIVING

Planned giving is a major gift that a donor makes during their lifetime or at death as part of their overall financial and/or estate planning. Planned gifts use estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. It is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Women’s Bean Project and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals.
