Publicly Traded Securities
There is no capital gains tax on gifts of publicly-traded securities to public charities and foundations like us, which makes this already popular type of gift even more advantageous. The completion of a simple form is all it takes to make an electronic gift of securities to a Fund at the Foundation.

Gifts in Your Will
A well prepared, up-to-date Will is important so that you can make your final wishes known. A charitable bequest in your Will can provide a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your Estate, or a gift of the residue, which consists of whatever remains in your Estate after gifts to your loved ones and all expenses have been paid.
