Ways to Give
Creating a Legacy plan is a personal and meaningful experience. There are many ways to fund your Legacy gift, and we’re here to help you get started. Through your Legacy gift, you support our future and build a lasting Legacy.
As always, you should consult with your tax advisor to determine your gift’s impact on your taxes and estate.
Will & Trust
Naming the Israel Guide Dog Center as a beneficiary in your Trust or Will is a lasting testament to your generosity and passion about Israel, dogs, and our collective future. It can be your positive and enduring impact on the world.
Beneficiary Designations
If you’re 70 1/2 or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to donate up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to a charity like the Israel Guide Dog Center, without having to include the distribution as taxable income. This can be a savvy way to fulfill your required minimum distribution, potentially lower your income taxes, and make a significant charitable impact all at once.
Stock or Real State
Donating stock is a “tax smart” way to support the Israel Guide Dog Center while also limiting your capital gains tax. Many of our most committed donors find they’re able to give more generously when they donate appreciated assets than if they’d simply given cash.
