We Accept

Each asset type offers unique financial and tax benefits. Contact our team to discuss which approach is right for your philanthropic goals.

Cash

A cash gift — which can be made using a check or credit card — is the simplest way of making a charitable contribution. Cash gifts are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Publicly Traded Stocks and Mutual Funds

Gifts of appreciated securities held for more than one year may allow you to avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.

Retirement Assets

Charitable contributions of retirement plan assets, including IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, may allow you to reduce or eliminate income and some taxes while simultaneously providing for the causes that mean the most to you.

Bequests and Trusts

Including Central Carolina Community Foundation in your will or trust is a simple way to create a lasting charitable legacy. You may designate a specific amount, percentage, or remainder of your estate to support the purpose you choose.

Life Insurance

You can name Central Carolina Community Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of a policy, or retain ownership and name the Foundation as a primary or contingent beneficiary.

Convert a Private Foundation

A private foundation may transfer all or a portion of its assets to Central Carolina Community Foundation. Converting can simplify administration and expand philanthropic flexibility. Our team is happy to discuss these options with you.

Real Estate

By giving real estate you own, you can unlock the full appraised value of the property and gain significant tax and economic advantages.

Closely Held Stock

Contributing shares of stock you hold in a privately owned business to Central Carolina Community Foundation may allow you to receive a deduction for the appraised market value.

Sale of a Business

If you are planning the sale of a business, charitable planning in advance of the transaction can help you support causes you care about in a meaningful way. Our team can work alongside you and your advisors to explore options that align with your financial and philanthropic goals.

Other Assets

Gifts of personal property such as jewelry, art, antiques, or vehicles may be donated to Central Carolina Community Foundation on a case-by-case basis to establish your charitable fund.
