As a donor, we realize you may prefer
to make an outright gift to ACA using any
of the following vehicles described below.
In some cases, these may present opportunities
that allow you to make a gift now, while
still retaining income for life from the
gift.
Monetary Gifts
The most common form of making a charitable contribution is an outright gift
of money which will provide an immediate resource for the American Camp
Association's use. Monetary gifts may be made in any amount and at any time,
making them the easiest way to donate.
Securities
(Stocks and Bonds) *
It is important to note that gifts of stocks and/or bonds to the American Camp
Association may actually cost you less than the same amount in a monetary gift.
If the securities have appreciated and were held by you for at least twelve
months, they may be deductible in an amount up to 30 percent of your adjusted
gross income. Amounts in excess of 30 percent may be deducted on tax returns
for up to five additional years. Only marketable securities can be accepted
by ACA.
* For highly appreciated
securities, please review Deferred
Giving.
Charitable
Lead Trust
Charitable Lead Trusts involve another gifting technique that assigns an income
interest to the charity for a period of years (or the lifetime of a person),
after which the remainder passes to the donor's heirs.
