Gift Planning Options

Our donors are happy to discover they have various gift planning options to make a bigger impact, further strengthening families at Drueding Center.

 
 

Compared to donating cash, donating long-term securities and other planned gifts can appreciate over time and boost your giving. Often, these gifts can help you and your family reduce taxes, creating even more benefits. Planned giving options include gifts of securities, gifts from your will, donor advised funds, and much more.

Make a Current Gift

  • Give Securities. Make an impactful gift and enjoy double tax benefits with a transfer of appreciated stock. You’ll eliminate all capital gains tax and enjoy a charitable deduction for the current market value of the shares. Electronic transfers are quick and easy. Learn more or call 215-914-4018 for our transfer information. Learn more about giving securities

  • Give through your IRA. If you are age 70-1/2 or older, you can make a qualified charitable donation from your individual retirement account. Amounts transferred to Drueding Center apply to your annual required distribution and are excluded from your taxable income. The tax benefits are available even if you take the standard deduction.

  • Give through your Donor Advised Fund. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Drueding Center is qualified to receive distributions through your donor advised fund. Giving can be done as a one-time gift or a recurring contribution.

Receive Income from Your Gift

  • Charitable Gift Annuity. Receive fixed lifetime annuity payments directly from Drueding Center in exchange for your gift of $10,000 or more. Drueding Center charitable annuities are available to Pennsylvania residents age 70 and above. Curious? Call us for a no-obligation quote before renewing a certificate of deposit.

  • Charitable Remainder Trust. Increase your retirement income, help with a grandchild’s education, or eliminate the ownership burdens of a property you no longer need. You can make a tax-free conversion of securities or real estate to a trust that creates lifetime income and fulfills your greatest philanthropic goals.

Create a Future Gift

  • Will or Codicil. More than a legal necessity, your will is a powerful narrative of what matters most to you. Remember Drueding Center and the charitable organizations that have been part of your life story. Whether you give a specific bequest or a percentage of your estate value, your gift will continue to transform lives by helping families experiencing homelessness build skills to heal from trauma, restore hope, and end the cycle of homelessness.

  • Life Insurance Beneficiary. Name Drueding Center as the primary or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Simply complete an updated beneficiary form for your policy.

  • Retirement Account Beneficiary. Tax-deferred retirement plans are wonderful for maintaining financial security in our own retirement years but may be reduced by heavy taxes when inherited by loved ones. A better option may be to designate Drueding Center and other charitable interests to benefit from all or a portion of the assets remaining in your retirement account and provide for your family through your will.                                      

  • Donor Advised Fund Beneficiary. Ensure that your donor advised fund will be distributed per your wishes. Designate funds remaining after your death to Drueding Center and other charities you choose.
