Charitable giving in the United States has risen to its highest level since the great recession according to Giving USA 2015: Annual Report on Philanthropy.
The Foundation's 2014 Annual Report set for release in July 2015 highlights an increase in charitable giving on behalf of our many generous donors. Last year's record giving at The Catholic Foundation illustrates that donors recommended nearly 30% more grants in 2014 compared to 2013, utilizing the Foundation's expertise to make an impact with their charitable giving. If you drill down to how individuals are giving you find various types of gifts donors consider when gifting to a cause or contributing to a fund at the Foundation including:
- cash
- appreciated securities
- closely held stock
- real property
- tangible personal property
- mineral interests
- life insurance
- mutual funds
- qualified retirement plan assets
Gifts of capital assets can provide the donor with significant tax benefits. Read a sample donor story here.
Every donor has a different approach to giving and our professional development staff at the Foundation are here to guide you through the best plan for you and your family. Still want to learn more on what types of gifts can provide you with the best benefits?
