Ways to Give

Find the Right Gift for You

Let’s partner on a giving plan that aligns with your goals, with the needs of your family and community.

There are a variety of ways to make a gift, today or in the future. Many options can provide income during your lifetime or significant tax benefits — or both.

At TCF, we can help you determine the best type of gift for your personal circumstances. Start a conversation with our experienced team by contacting a TCF program officer today to discuss your options.

Gift Types to Start or Grow Your Fund

Cash

Cash is a quick and easy way to make a gift and receive an income tax deduction.

Bank or Brokerage Accounts

Accounts can be directly transferred to a charitable fund through a payable on death (POD) option, simplifying estate administration for heirs.

Gift of Stock and Mutual Funds

Gifts of stock, including appreciated stock and mutual funds can make an ideal charitable gift for both the donor and the nonprofit.

Retirement Assets

Retirement assets include Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs).

Privately Held Stock*

Incorporate giving into your business transition plan by donating privately held stock.

Gifts of Real Estate*

Real estate can be used to create a significant charitable legacy.

Life Insurance*

Retain possession of your property during your lifetime.

Charitable Gift Annuity*

Make a significant charitable gift and receive a steady income stream in return.

Charitable Remainder Trust

Make a significant charitable gift with a variety of assets and receive income in return.

Life Estate*

There is an easy way to use your real estate to create a charitable legacy and simplify your estate at the same time. It’s called retained life estate.

Wills and Bequests

Making a gift through your will is easy and may also reduce your taxable estate. This kind of gift “costs” you nothing during your lifetime and has the potential to impact the community forever.
