Non-cash
Gifts
While
cash donations are always welcome, gifts can come in many different
forms that provide the necessary funding to drive FMD research.
| Securities |
If
you've invested in stock or real estate over the past few
years, the news is that many of our holdings may have increased
in value. The bad news is the capital gains tax that you will
owe when you sell these appreciated assets.
But
there is a way to completely and legally avoid all the capital
gains tax on your investments while earning a current year
tax deduction on the asset’s full value: by donating
your stock to the Fibromuscular Dysplasia Society of America.
Congress
has recently extended some very advantageous rules that apply
to contributed investments such as stocks or bonds that have
appreciated in value. You receive a full income tax deduction
based upon the current market value AND you completely avoid
ever having to pay capital gains tax on your donated investment.
In addition, your charitable contribution may also help you
avoid estate taxes.
The
IRS Code was specifically designed to make it advantageous
for more Americans to contribute to the charitable causes
they wish to support. We hope that you will consider this
prudent and responsible method of giving to fund much-needed
research into FMD. |
| Personal
Assets |
There are ways you can make a gift of personal or real property
to FMDSA and retain a right to use the property during your
lifetime. The transferred property may be art, your residence
or commercial real estate. In each case you will receive
a charitable tax deduction for the present value of the FMDSA’s
interest, which will offset taxes on your income. In addition,
you may continue to use the property or receive income from
it. At the end of your lifetime, the property may be sold
with the proceeds going to support the research and awareness
programs of the FMDSA, as you have directed. |
Planned
Giving
You
can be a part of the future
Planning
a gift for tomorrow will bring you benefits today. You can
create your legacy, take some control over the future and build
a bridge to coming generations. The rewards go beyond the
personal. You will better the lives of people living with
FMD and their families and inspire many people to work toward and
invest in a future that holds no fear of FMD.
| Bequests |
Making
a gift through your will is a meaningful way to make a lasting
commitment. You can bequeath a sum of money, an item,
or any portion of your estate. |
| Life
Insurance |
If
you have a life insurance plan that is no longer needed, you
can designate FMDSA as the beneficiary of the policy.
|
| Retirement
Plans |
You
can also arrange to donate a percentage of your choosing (as
little as 1%) from your qualified retirement savings plan by
designating FMDSA as one of your plan’s beneficiary. |
