Asset-Based Giving
Your generosity fuels our mission, and asset-based strategies can make your support go even further. The following options may offer meaningful financial advantages while ensuring your gift has maximum impact. To ensure you receive proper acknowledgement for your gift, please let us know that you’ve initiated a gift of this type by emailing Executive Director Pauly Hart at [email protected] and letting us know the amount and the financial institution that will be issuing the check. Always consult your financial advisor to determine the giving method that’s best for you.
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can recommend a gift directly to Watson Links. It’s a simple and flexible way to support our work that may include the tax benefits of charitable giving. DAFs also allow you to consolidate your giving, making it easier to plan and track your philanthropy.
IRA Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
For donors age 70½ and older, giving directly from your IRA can satisfy all or part of your annual RMD while reducing your taxable income. This qualified charitable distribution (QCD) may be a powerful way to support Watson Links without increasing your tax burden.
Stock Donations
A gift of appreciated stock is another way to support Watson Links in a way that costs you less out of pocket, and may avoid incurring capital gains tax.
