BGCAZ-Gift-Options

Gift Options

Giving to our cause can be done either directly or through a gift model that can provide tax benefits and even income. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Many of our donors are switching to stock donations to save on two types of taxes and make an immediate impact on our mission. The secure donation tool linked below can help you make your gift in a few minutes online and notify BGCAZ of your gift intentions.

Donate Securities


Gifts of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Do you have a Donor-Advised Fund? Don’t wait – make an immediate impact from the money you’ve already set aside to do good. The secure DAF donation tool linked below automatically notifies us of your gift intention and integrates with your DAF custodian to make recommending a grant to BGCAZ seamless and easy.

Gifts of Retirement Assets

If you are 70.5 and older, you can support BGCAZ directly from your IRA account while reducing your future tax burden. This type of gift is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). You can complete the necessary forms using the online donation tool linked below in as little as 10 minutes.

Cryptocurrency

More and more donors are using Crypto as a tax-smart way to give. The secure donation tool linked below allows you to donate your currency, name a gift intention, and request a tax receipt — all in a few minutes.

Gifts of Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.

Tax circumstances are different for everyone: ask your tax adviser if you are eligible for the Arizona Qualifying Charitable Tax Credit and/or Public School Tax Credit for the year. Please consult your tax adviser regarding federal income tax.

Can you explain Arizona tax credits? How is a "tax credit" different from a "tax deduction"?

The short answer is this: tax credits help you save more money when it comes to paying income taxes. The longer answer... A tax deduction can only lower your taxable income and the tax rate that is used to calculate your tax obligation. A tax credit reduces how much you owe, giving you a larger refund of your withholding. But certain tax credits can give you a refund even if you have no withholding. You can read more at IRS.gov, but it might be easier to understand if you look on YouTube!
