Save on Taxes and Defy Cancer
You can make a valuable impact on Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's groundbreaking research and comprehensive patient care through these easy and tax smart giving options:
- Donor-Advised Funds: Give through your donor-advised fund to maximize your impact on the fight against cancer. Your fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts. Plus, it's easy to do and doesn't impact your current cash flow.
- Individual Retirement Account: If you or a family member are 70½ or older with an individual retirement account (IRA), you can make a tax-free gift to Dana-Farber directly from your IRA. This is called a qualified charitable distribution. Plus, if you are 73 or older, your gift may satisfy your required minimum distribution and lower your taxable income.
- Appreciated Securities: Make a gift of stock or securities to support our lifesaving mission and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of your stock
- Life Income Gifts: Receive partially tax-free lifetime income and take an immediate charitable deduction while saving lives. Charitable gift annuity payout rates are higher than they have been in over a decade, making now a great time to consider this gift that benefits you and Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.
- Will or Trust: This simple and flexible gift entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction, and creates a legacy to help others.
