Donor advised funds

Donor Advised Funds are an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift and can provide you with immediate tax benefits while simplifying your charitable giving.

Contributions are tax-deductible and your investments in a DAF can appreciate tax free. You receive an immediate income tax deduction in the year you contribute to your DAF. Additionally, your DAF will not be subject to estate taxes. With a DAF, you get both tax benefits and the flexibility to recommend gift amount and frequency to your favorite nonprofits like Martha's Vineyard Hospital.

Here are two simple ways you can support Martha's Vineyard Hospital through a DAF - you can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals.

1) Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to Martha's Vineyard Hospital.

2) Extend your support by making Martha's Vineyard Hospital a beneficiary of your account or by designating Martha's Vineyard Hospital to receive a portion of the account value upon termination of the fund.

If you include Martha's Vineyard Hospital in your plans, please contact us and we can assist with the legal name and tax ID.

Real estate gifts

Donate property outright, reserve a life estate where you continue to live on the property, or donate property in exchange for life-income.

Gifts of Real Estate allow for an income tax deduction and reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes.

Securities

A gift of securities offers the same immediate impact as cash while also providing significant tax advantages. If you itemize, you can deduct the full fair market value of the stock and will avoid capital gains tax on highly appreciated securities.
