Stock Donations
Use our Stock Transfer Form to make your donation in the form of stocks, bonds, or other securities and receive significantly increased tax benefits.
By donating your appreciated securities (that you have held for longer than 1 year), you usually avoid paying the capital gains taxes if you sell the stock and donate the cash proceeds.
Gift Matching
Does your employer match financial donations that employees make to nonprofit organizations? If so, designate us as your beneficiary.
Typically, if your company participates, your annual donation to us would be doubled.
Planned Giving
Create a lasting legacy by designating Financial Beginnings as a beneficiary of your insurance policy, pension, retirement plan, or IRA.
The benefit to designating Financial Beginnings is that it allows the full fair market value (or percentage you designate) of the retirement account to pass tax-free to our organization.
