Tax-Smart Ways to Give

Transfer Appreciated Assets

Many donors prefer to make gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange traded funds because it can have a large impact on our mission, while maximizing potential tax benefits by avoiding paying tax on capital gains.

Give from your IRA

Donors 70½ or older are eligible to give to Make-A-Wish Colorado from their IRAs tax-free! These gifts, also known as Qualified Charitable Distributions, are always tax-free, regardless of whether or not you itemize deductions on your tax return.
