TAX-SMART Giving
Did you know you can support Light of Hearts Villa in a way that benefits both you and our mission? Light of Hearts Villa and our sponsor Sisters of Charity Health System have partnered with FreeWill to make a range of tax-smart giving options available to our supporters. Tax-smart gifts through our partner FreeWill allow you to make a lasting difference while maximizing potential tax advantages. You can donate appreciated stock to avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction, make a charitable rollover from your IRA if you’re 70½ or older to reduce taxable income, recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund (DAF) for an easy and impactful gift, or contribute cryptocurrency to potentially lower your tax liability.
Tax-Smart Ways to Make a BIG Impact
Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! Using this link to our FreeWill portal, you will have the option to choose Lights of Hearts Villa to send your IRA gift. We can give you the proper tax receipts. Give from my IRA >
Stocks
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. You can choose Lights of Hearts Villa with this tool provided by our partners at FreeWill to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify Lights of Hearts Villa of your gift. Donate stock today >
Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies of your intentions. Using the link below, choose Lights of Hearts Villa to give from your DAF. It saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs. Give from my DAF >
Cryptocurrency
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits. Choose Lights of Hearts Villa as the recipient of your cryptocurrency gift with this link: Give cryptocurrency >
