Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to our organization.
Gifts of Retirement Assets
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift to our organization.
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.
Gifts of Real Estate
Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to our organization.
Gifts of Business Interests
As a business owner, you have the opportunity not only to build your business and accumulate wealth for yourself and your family, but also to accomplish your philanthropic goals through charitable planning. A gift of your corporate stock or assets can provide you with tax and income benefits and help further our mission.

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.
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!
