* There are special rules for valuing a gift of stock. The value of a charitable gift of stock is determined by taking the mean between the high and low stock price on the date of the gift. Mutual fund shares are valued using the closing price for the fund on the date of the gift.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about, including The Doorways. You can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to your fund, receive an immediate tax deduction (as allowed by law), and recommend grants to The Doorways whenever it aligns with your charitable goals.
Many donors appreciate DAFs because they allow you to:
Consolidate your charitable giving in one place
Recommend grants over time while receiving an immediate tax deduction
Involve family members in charitable giving decisions
Build a long-term philanthropic plan that reflects your values
If you have a donor-advised fund, consider recommending a grant to The Doorways. For questions about making a gift, please consult your financial advisor or contact our Development Team.
Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees, or spouses, doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift. Check with your employer to see if a matching gift program is available, or contact our Development Team and we’d be happy to help you explore your options.
Celebrate a special occasion or honor the memory of someone meaningful with a tribute or memorial gift to The Doorways. Your gift creates a lasting tribute while helping families stay together during medical treatment.
Leave a Legacy
Plan a future gift that helps ensure The Doorways can continue welcoming families for generations to come.
Including The Doorways in your will or trust is one of the simplest ways to create a lasting legacy. Your gift of bequest will help ensure families continue finding comfort, hope, and a place to stay close to medical care for generations to come.
Naming The Doorways as the beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other retirement account is a simple, tax-efficient way to make a lasting impact. A beneficiary designation today can help provide comfort for families well into the future.
By naming The Doorways as a full or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy, you can create a lasting legacy with a gift that may cost nothing today. It’s a simple way to continue supporting families for years to come.
A gift of real estate, including a home, vacation property, farmland, or commercial property, can create a meaningful impact for future generations of families served by The Doorways. Our team is happy to work with you and your advisors to explore whether this option is right for you.
Note: The property’s fair market value is established by an independent appraisal.
A charitable remainder trust allows you to provide income for yourself or your loved ones while creating a future gift for The Doorways. It can offer financial and tax advantages while supporting our mission for years to come.
A charitable lead trust provides income to The Doorways for a designated period before the remaining assets are distributed to your chosen beneficiaries. It’s a thoughtful way to support families today while planning for tomorrow.
