Gift Deposit Accounts

Gift Deposit Accounts

The Gift Deposit Account is a unique tool designed to enhance your charitable giving.  You make a contribution of cash or securities to a gift deposit account maintained by the Foundation and receive an immediate tax deduction.  Then, in the future, recommend the charitable donations you wish for the Foundation to make from this account.  Use the Gift Deposit Account as an effective tax-planning tool.  The Foundation invests your donation and posts the investment return to your account.  Earnings are not recorded as income to you, but the amount available for donation may increase.
