Additional Ways to Donate
Estate Planning / Bequest / Will
Another way to donate is by leaving a legacy gift through your will or estate plan. These legacy gifts help to ensure that The 3 Doors practices and programs will be here for generations to come.
Information that could be helpful:
- Legal Name: The Three Doors
- Tax identification number: 27-329301
- Bequest language: I give to The Three Doors, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, located in Shipman, Virginia, organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the sum of $_______ [or ________% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate] to be used for [state purpose].
Gifts of Stock
A meaningful way to support The 3 Doors while benefiting from significant tax savings. Donating appreciated assets avoids federal capital gains taxes and provides a federal income tax deduction for the current market value of the gift.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from an IRA
If you are age 72 or older, IRS rules require you to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year from your tax-deferred retirement accounts. A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, up to $100,000. And the QCD is excluded from your taxable income.
Matching Gifts
Did you know that many employers offer matching gift programs? You may be able to double the impact of your gift – including donor advised fund gifts and stock gifts. Check with your employer to see if they have a program and to find out details.
