Stocks and Securities
Donating stock or securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a meaningful way to support progress against cancer while also offering valuable tax advantages. By giving in this way, you may be eligible to deduct the full fair market value of the assets and avoid capital gains tax on their appreciation. It is a simple gift with the power to advance pioneering science and make a lasting difference.
Retirement Assets
Life Insurance
Transfer ownership now:
To make an impact on our mission today, irrevocably designate the AACR as owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. If your policy is paid up, you will receive an immediate income tax deduction based on the policy value.
If your policy is not yet paid up, you will make contributions of cash to the AACR to cover future premium payments. For any continuing premium payments you make, you will receive a charitable deduction in the year of the payment.
Name us as a beneficiary:
You can name the AACR as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your life insurance policy. With this gift arrangement, the AACR will receive the proceeds of your policy when you pass away. You can change your beneficiary at any time.
This gift is easy to arrange—simply request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support the AACR. The tax benefits of the gift depend on whether the AACR can use the property in a way that is related to its mission. Contact us to learn more about this type of gift—we would be happy to help you find the option that best fits your philanthropic goals.
