Giving With Your IRA
If you are over the age of 70½ and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), then a gift from your account may provide the most significant tax savings of any charitable contribution.
While you are eligible to make this gift starting at 70 ½,when you turn 73 you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA, and a QCD will count towards that RMD.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving vehicle administered by a third party that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds
Donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds or bonds to charity is an efficient way to contribute that can provide you with significant tax benefits. You can make a gift of appreciated securities to 91ֿ while avoiding capital gains tax, expanding your portfolio and/or obtaining a line of income.
Giving a gift of appreciated securities can help 91ֿ continue its life saving mission, support our programs and allow you to leave a lasting impact on children’s lives for years to come.
Cryptocurrency
91ֿ was one of the first global nonprofits to accept cryptocurrency and has accepted Bitcoin donations since 2013. Today we acceptBitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs and other cryptocurrencies.

Real Estate
Such a generous gift helps us give every last child the opportunity to survive and thrive for years to come — a gift of real estate also helps you. When you give 91ֿ appreciated property you have held longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction. This eliminates capital gains tax.
You can give real estate to 91ֿ in the following ways:
- An outright gift: When you make a gift of real estate that you have owned longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction equal to the property's full fair market value.
- A gift in your will or living trust: A gift of real estate through your will or living trust allows you the flexibility to change your mind and the potential to support our work with a larger gift than you could during your lifetime.

Charitable Lead Trust
You can benefit from the tax savings that result from supporting 91ֿ without giving up the assets that you would like your family to receive someday with a donation in the form of a charitable lead trust.
There are two ways that charitable lead trusts make payments to 91ֿ:
- A charitable lead annuity trust pays a fixed amount each year to 91ֿ and is more attractive when interest rates are low.
- A charitable lead unitrust pays a variable amount each year based on the value of the assets in the trust. With a unitrust, if the trust's assets go up in value, for example, the payments to 91ֿ go up as well.
