Ways to Give
Cash
Direct cash gifts are the most common form of giving and may be made outright and/or throughout the year.
Multi-year Commitments
A multi-year commitment or pledge is a donation that is stated and then fulfilled over a period of time or years. A pledge letter needs to be created to fully articulate a donor’s gift intention. The total pledge amount is counted in the year it is given.
Stock Gifts
By donating long-term, appreciated securities directly to NETRF, the donor will receive a tax-deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock and not incur any capital gains tax on the stock’s growth. Often times donors can use appreciated stock for a larger donation and receive an immediate tax deduction. For stock transfer instructions please contact our team at info@netrf.org or at (617) 946-1780
Donor Advised Funds
A donor–advised fund, or DAF, is a philanthropic fund established at a financial institution. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit and then recommend grants from the fund over time or years. A gift of just $5,000 can establish a donor-advised fund.
Matching Gifts
There are more than 20,000 corporations and foundations that match their employees’ individual donations to a non-profit charity. The employee makes his/her gift and then the employer will match the gift to the chosen charity. Typically, employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
An IRA is an account set up at a financial institution that allows an individual to save for retirement with tax-free growth or other tax benefits. People that already receive a distribution from their IRA can, in turn, direct that distribution as a charitable contribution. This contribution will count toward your required minimum distribution and you will receive a tax-deduction from the distribution. With any IRA gift, you will become a member of the NETRF Legacy Society, a special community of donors.
Retirement Plan Beneficiary
Naming NETRF as a beneficiary of a retirement plan is a simple and tax-efficient way to support our mission. Retirement plans are highly taxed due to estate and income taxes. A donor can transfer their retirement plan directly to NETRF via a complete or partial beneficiary designation and these assets will not be taxed. By naming NETRF as part of your retirement plan, you will become a member of the NETRF Legacy Society, a special community of donors.
Car Donation
We are excited to announce our partnership with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services), which is a vehicle donation service that will pick your vehicle up anywhere in the United States and some areas of Canada, sell the vehicle, and then donate 70% of the proceeds to NETRF! Eligible vehicles include: cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, boats, motorcycles, ATVs, RVs, trailers, or airplanes. To donate your vehicle to NETRF, simply go to https://careasy.org/home or call 855-500-RIDE (7433) to begin the process. CARS will provide the tax deductible receipt for you upon the sale of the vehicle.
