NFCR’s mission to cure cancer through revolutionary research is only possible through the generosity of our visionary donors. Thousands of supporters like you have joined with us over the years. Many of them have found that, through carefully planning their gifts, they can make generous contributions while meeting a variety of personal and financial planning goals as well.
Life-saving discoveries take innovation and impact. You can use your non-cash assets to support them! Consider making a gift today from your:
- Portfolio of appreciated stock or cryptocurrency
- Donor-Advised Fund
- IRA account (if you’re 70.5 or older)
These options allow you to give more efficiently, potentially reducing your taxable income when you file in the spring—all while helping make cures possible.
Why Donate Non-Cash Gifts?
98% of wealth is held in non-cash assets, and those with the highest net worth have a significantly smaller percentage of their wealth stored in cash.
Because of their many benefits, non-cash gifts are significantly larger on average. On the FreeWill platform, average smart gifts are 30x to 140x greater than the average cash gift of $100.
Nonprofits that raise non-cash assets grow 6x faster than those who raise cash alone.
Make a grant request from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Donor-advised funds are an account where you can deposit assets for donation to charity over time. Donors who use donor-advised funds can maximize tax benefits and grow their contributions over time, making more charitable dollars for nonprofits. It is also one of the best ways to simplify donations and reduce personal administration.
Tax-Smart Ways to Give That Make a Big Impact
IRAs
The savviest way for individuals age 70½ or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.
Cryptocurrency
Donating cryptocurrency is a safe and secure transaction for users. Donors also benefit from avoiding capital gains tax on their gifts.
Your gifts make a profound difference for the scientists on the forefront of cancer research and the patients they serve. We hope that, through careful estate planning, you discover the option that works best for you. If we can be of assistance to you, confidentially and at no obligation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
