You can support GLAAD’s work to battle LGBTQ discrimination with facts and compassion. What’s more, you can also enjoy tax benefits from these gifts now, or you can establish a future gift that will pass tax benefits along to your loved ones.
You can learn more about these special opportunities in our free brochure, Tax-Wise Ways to Make an Impact, and other complimentary planning resources. These resources are just a click away!
Stocks and Securities
When you give stock or securities (stock, bonds, mutual funds), you may be eligible for a double tax benefit: 1) You receive an income tax deduction for the full, present, fair market value of the assets and 2) you may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of the assets. This is an way to accomplish your philanthropic goals.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield you or your heirs from taxes while funding GLAAD.
Life Insurance
Transfer ownership now:
To make an impact on our mission today, irrevocably designate GLAAD as owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. If your policy is paid up, you will receive an immediate income tax deduction based on the policy value.
If your policy is not yet paid up, you will make contributions of cash to GLAAD to cover future premium payments. For any continuing premium payments you make, you will receive a charitable deduction in the year of the payment.
Name us as a beneficiary:
You can name GLAAD as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your life insurance policy. With this gift arrangement, GLAAD will receive the proceeds of your policy when you pass away. You can change your beneficiary at any time.
This gift is easy to arrange — simply request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator.
From a Supporter Like You
“We must continue to show up, to advocate, and to educate — especially knowing that those who oppose us would rather us cower in the corners and stay silent, or would rather us not breathe at all. We cannot give them what they want. We cannot let them win this battle.”
— Stephen Lewis, GLAAD Supporter
