Other giving options include:

Gift of Stock
When you donate appreciated stock that you have held for over one year from the date of exercise of an option, you get a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time of your donation. By gifting the securities directly to CEF Greater Pee Dee, you also avoid the capital gains tax that would otherwise be due on the sale of the securities.
Making a Bequest of Your Retirement Assets
A retirement asset, such as an IRA account, makes an excellent bequest to us. If the IRA were given to your family, much of the value may be lost through estate and income taxes. By designating CEF as the beneficiary of all or part of your IRA, the full value of the gift is transferred tax-free at your death and your estate receives an estate tax charitable deduction.
Charitable IRA Rollover
The IRA Charitable Rollover provision allows individuals who have reached age 70½ to donate up to $100,000 to charitable organizations directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), without treating the distribution as taxable income.
