Are your donors aware of the benefits of making noncash gifts? Many are surprised to learn that by making noncash gifts instead of cash they may be able to give more, maximize tax savings and possibly generate an income stream for themselves or loved ones.
Sharpe has proven effective donor communication materials you can use to educate your donors about giving securities, real estate and other noncash property.
- Giving Securities – Addresses gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities—the most common forms for noncash gifts.
- Giving Real Estate – Emphasizes the many gift opportunities open to those who own highly appreciated real property.
- Giving Through Life Insurance – Help donors understand how life insurance can be used to make larger gifts now and in the future.
- Giving Through Retirement Plans – Help donors understand the many ways that retirement plans can be used to make meaningful gifts. Special emphasis on gifts directly from IRAs for older donors.
