So many ways to support a beautiful, bountiful Oregon!

If you are 70½ years old or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income – and for people over 73 who must take a required minimum distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By giving from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork, and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital-gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use FreeWill to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve.
