Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
The benefits of using a donor-advised fund are strong and, with the new tax laws, are expected to grow in appeal to strategic donors. They are far easier to establish than a private foundation and allow you to support 永利国际app flexibly and meaningfully.
Please contact your financial advisor, or Rosa Franck, Director of Development, at 617.559.8736, for more information.
Matching Gifts
Amplify your impact by participating in a matching-gift program at your company. Many corporations have established programs whereby the company matches or multiplies donations made by current, and in some cases, retired employees. Some of these companies also match directors鈥 gifts. We encourage you to check with your employer to determine if they administer a matching-gift program.聽Donations received from employers through their matching gift programs are fully tax-deductible.
- How to determine if your company has a matching gift program:
- Check with your company鈥檚 HR department to see if there is a matching gift program in place.
- Ask HR for a copy of their Matching Gift Form and complete your portion.
- Submit the form to 永利国际app via email to Sharon Katz at skatz@hebrewcollege.edu or mail to the address below.

Lead by example and influence others to follow your lead!
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
An outright gift of appreciated appreciated securities is one of the most attractive methods of giving. Provided you have owned the securities for more than one year, a gift of listed stocks, bonds or other publicly traded securities entitles you to a charitable income-tax deduction equal to the full market value of the securities; this is calculated by averaging the high and low selling prices on the date of the gift.
Note: It is very important that your broker notify the Development Office when stock is being transferred.Your broker should contact Sharon Katz at聽skatz@hebrewcollege.edu聽or 617.559.8764 with your name and that of the stock being transferred in order that we can properly credit and acknowledge your gift.

Charitable IRA Rollovers
A charitable IRA rollover is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from a retirement account to a charitable organization. One rationale for making such a distribution lies in the benefits the donor can receive. These benefits can be significant in both tax savings and impact on a charity.
In 2024, individuals who are 70陆 years old or older may use a QCD to donate up to $105,000 to qualified charities directly from an IRA. Going forward the maximum will be indexed annually for inflation.
If you qualify, the IRA Charitable Rollover is a great way to save on taxes and make an end-of-year gift to 永利国际app. If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution (RMD) for 2024, an IRA Charitable Rollover gift can count toward satisfying this requirement. This also benefits taxpayers who are not yet required to take RMDs to still take advantage of the QCD technique without the income tax hit on the distributed funds while also removing those funds from liability for future estate taxes.
What you need to know to take advantage of the opportunity for 2024:
- Eligibility: Individuals aged 70-1/2 or older in 2024.
- Amount eligible: Up to $105,000.
- Method: Direct transfer from an IRA account to 永利国际app.
- How to initiate a transfer: Contact your IRA administrator for instructions; notify 永利国际app.
Retirement plans are among the most highly taxed assets one can own, subject to income tax in life, estate tax at death, and income tax when left to an individual other than a spouse.
Although IRA Charitable Rollover gifts do not qualify for the charitable deduction, they are, in effect, 100% deductible. Act quickly to complete an IRA Charitable Rollover gift for 2024. As in all charitable gift decision-making, review with one鈥檚 advisor is encouraged.
