Gifts of Stock
Transferring appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to invest in Greenville County. You avoid paying capital gains tax and can deduct the full value of the gift from your tax return — which often means a larger impact than a cash gift of the same size.
We suggest starting this process no later than December 23 for year-end giving.
Give From Your IRA
Taxpayers age 70½ and older are required to take annual distributions from an IRA, and those distributions are subject to taxation. A Qualified Charitable Distribution lets you direct that money to United Way of Greenville County instead — completely tax-free.
You can give up to $100,000 a year this way. Just let your broker or fund manager know you’d like to direct all or part of your QCD to United Way of Greenville County. It counts toward your required minimum distribution and never touches your taxable income.
We suggest starting this process no later than December 23 for year-end giving.
