  • Transfer of appreciated stock (contact us for details)
  • Estate gift as designated in a will… Designate that a specific amount or a percentage of your estate be given to The Garinger Education Foundation through your will or living trust. Give the remainder, or residue, of your estate—that is, what remains after all other bequests to friends and loved ones are satisfied. (contact your estate attorney for details)
  • If you are at least 70 ½ years old, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from IRAs are advantageous for eligible donors. Although no charitable deduction is available, the income tax that is normally owed on withdrawals is avoided. In addition, because QCDs can satisfy required minimum distributions, income tax savings can be realized. (see your IRA custodian for details)
  • Create a “challenge gift” by either challenging your fellow classmates to match your gift or challenge another class to a contest in fundraising.
