Save taxes by donating stocks!
Many donors choose to donate appreciated stocks instead of cash to avoid the capital gains tax and take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset (if the asset was held for a year or longer).
By transferring your appreciated stocks, you can potentially make a larger gift to GRID Alternatives while seeing an even greater impact on your future taxes. Use the link below to transfer your stocks directly to GRID Alternatives today.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this online tool to donate stock so we can track your gift and send you the correct receipt.
Save on taxes by giving from your IRA
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are tax-efficient gifts for donors over 70 ½ years old to make gifts directly from the IRA. Additionally, they can count towards satisfying a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Benefits of giving a QCD include reducing your taxable income and making a powerful gift towards GRID Alternatives this year. Use the link below to find instructions on how to give from your IRA today.
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income - and for those over 73 who must take a required minimum distribution, a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) gift is a simple way to fulfill it! Use this tool to get started and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Easily make a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows individuals to make charitable contributions and receive an immediate tax deduction. The funds are managed by a DAF custodian, and the donor can recommend grants to their preferred nonprofit organizations. Donors can contribute to the fund over time and recommend grants to charities at their discretion, providing flexibility in their giving strategy. Use the link below to make a grant request now.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. Use this secure link to connect to your DAF account, recommend how you'd like your gift to be used, and notify GRID of your intentions
