More Ways to Give

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a powerful, tax-smart tool designed to maximize your charitable giving. When you contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to a DAF, you qualify for an immediate federal tax deduction while your funds are invested for tax-free growth. Over time, you can donate from your fund to support our mission on your own schedule, allowing you to sustain your impact, reduce your tax liability, and create a lasting philanthropic legacy.

Qualified Charitable Distribution

Give more to the causes you love without increasing your taxable income. By using a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), you can direct funds straight from your IRA to [Organization Name]. You pay zero income tax on the transfer, protect your standard deduction, and fulfill your annual RMD obligations.

Stock Donations

Most people think of cash when they consider making a charitable contribution, but a gift of shares of stock or mutual funds (securities) may be a wiser choice. Your securities can deliver significant tax advantages over a cash donation, allowing you to avoid a capital gain which will ultimately lower the cost to you and increase the donation to help us eliminate lung disease. Contact your tax advisor for more details.

There are many methods, but the easiest being payroll donations where funds are deducted from the employee’s paycheck and setup as a one-time or recurring donation to Breathe New Hampshire.
