Care with a Share: Make a Gift of Appreciated Stock
With a gift of appreciated stock to the UMRC-Porter Hills Foundation, you will:
- Save the capital gains tax from the stock
- Get an income tax deduction to offset your taxable income
Gifts of publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while also receiving a tax deduction for your gift. Plus, you may specify the area you would like the proceeds to support (such as Benevolent Care or Capital Improvements) or contribute them to our Unrestricted Fund to be used where needed most. The Foundation benefits by selling the stock without paying taxes on the gain, and you benefit from making a contribution that may be larger than what you might have been able to donate in cash.
"It is gratifying to help our donors make a gift with stock so they never have to pay capital gains taxes." - Rachel Webster, UMRC-Porter Hills Foundation Director of Philanthropy

Give Away Your IRA Required Minimum Distribution Each Year
If you are age 70.5 or older, you can make a tax-free donation, or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity such as UMRC-Porter Hills Foundation. This allows you to avoid paying income taxes on your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Here's How:
- Inform your IRA administrator to give all or part of the RMD directly to a nonprofit like UMRC-Porter Hills Foundation.
- The amount given to the nonprofit is not taxed, providing you the same benefit as a tax reduction.
- Best of all, you do not need to itemize your tax deductions to receive this tax saving benefit!
