All gifts, no matter the amount, will have a positive impact on Amazing Place and help sustain our mission for many years to come. Gifts from retirement accounts like an IRA, donor advised funds at a foundation or invested and matured assets (like stocks) during your lifetime and/or from those same types of assets of a designated amount in a will, trust or legacy plan can make transformational and impactful gifts to Amazing Place.

Tax Smart Giving

There are also additional forms of planned giving that can benefit Amazing Place. One of the major benefits of tax smart and planned giving, both during and after your lifetime, are the significant tax advantages, depending on your specific situation. Common forms of these types of gifts are IRA rollover/distribution, stocks and appreciated assets, Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), life insurance, real estate or legacy gifts like a charitable bequest, beneficiary designation and more.
