Gifts of Cash

Gifts of cash are 100 percent deductible for income tax purposes. In any one year, an individual's adjusted gross income can be reduced by up to 50 percent through the use of certain charitable contributions. Gifts charged to credit cards are also accepted.

Reuben Lindh offers the secure and convenient option of online contributions. You have the option to donate securely using your credit card, or bank account where available.

Gifts of stock or other appreciated property

Gifts of stock, bonds, or other property that you have owned for more than one year are deductible at the full fair market value. (Fair market value is based on the average of the high and low traded price of the security on the date of the gift). Also, individuals can avoid all capital gains taxes that would be owed if the security had been sold. Unlike gifts of cash, the maximum deduction for appreciated property in any one year is limited to 30 percent of adjusted gross income.

Planned Gifts

Reuben Lindh Family Services can be named as a beneficiary of an estate or as the recipient of a specified gift. Assets such as IRAs, 401(k)s and life insurance can be donated by naming RLFS through the beneficiary designation of the contract. Other gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts, can be made through plans that provide income to the donor (and beneficiaries, as desired) during his or her lifetime. Best of all, a legacy will be left for future generations that will benefit from RLFS' services.
