Year-end Giving
'Tis the season of caring and sharing -- and the season to get the most out of your 2011 taxes! Just one year-end gift to EarthShare New York helps protect our environment by supporting the work of local charities, and also rewards your wallet as you begin to prepare for the closing of this year’s tax season.
How to make the most of your year-end giving
- The perfect gift for every nature-lover, outdoor enthusiast, environmentalist and general 'greenie' on your list? Make a donation to EarthShare New York in their honor! Your gift will be acknowledged and we'll send a note to the special person you're honoring.
- Charitable contributions to EarthShare New York are 100% tax deductible! A secure, online gift can be deducted by up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Remember, in order to receive tax benefits charitable donations must be made by December 31, 2011.
- Make your gift go further. Check with your employer to learn about charitable gift matching options or programs.
- Expand your options for charitable giving. Get more out of your donations this holiday season. One idea: transfer money from a traditional IRA directly to a charity. It's worth noting that this form of donation may no longer be an option after the end of 2011! We recommend speaking with your financial advisor to discuss how a year-end gift to EarthShare will suit your financial and charitable giving goals.
More ways to give back
- Ring in the New Year with a green boost for your business or workplace by starting an EarthShare Give@The Office employee giving campaign. Click here to learn more and to check out our online demo.
- Planning to replace your old car, boat, or RV this holiday season? Another great way to give back and secure tax benefits for 2010 is to donate your used vehicles and vessels to EarthShare. All donors will be provided with a tax deductible donation receipt at the time of pick-up.
- Including appreciated stocks in your year-end giving plans could also include the potential for significant tax savings. Choosing to gift securities allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of your stock. In addition, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock just as you would if your gift was made in cash.
- A planned charitable bequest can be a perfect solution for individuals and families who wish to perpetuate their giving for future generations. When making a bequest to EarthShare New York you may specify a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or choose to name EarthShare New York as a residual beneficiary.
