Gifts of IRA Funds

Certain tax provisions allow individuals to make distributions from their IRA accounts directly to a charity without recognizing the distribution as income and is, therefore, not taxable. Please consult with your tax accountant or financial planner for guidance.

Gifts of Life Insurance

Endowments through gifts of life insurance are among the most innovative planned giving vehicles. By designating Second City Curling as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, it can be used to create a philanthropic fund upon a donor’s passing, allowing their surviving family to continue their charitable interests. Talk to your provider for guidance.

Gift Annuities

You’d like to help, but need the income; or maybe you have a highly-appreciated stock that pays a low dividend, but don’t want to trigger the capital gains tax. Whether funded with cash or stock, a gift annuity will provide a handsome cash flow that may be partially tax-free! You’ll also get a partial tax deduction now.

Gifts of Stock

Do you have shares of long-term appreciated stock you might consider donating? You can simply transfer these shares directly to Second City Curling. You will get a full tax deduction for the entire market value, avoid capital gains, and do your part in helping to create stronger communities.
