There are 13 ways that you can support HAFCI, ranging
from a simple cash donation to more complex planned gifts. Call
us at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics to tap into our detailed knowledge
on these topics. We have the best legal, tax and accounting minds
available to you at no cost to help you help us!
- Cash: Most people think of cash donations first because they are deductible up to 50% of your adjusted gross income. Consider year-end gifts “In Honor of…In Memory of…In Lieu of Flowers” for those whom you love.
- Securities: In the Bay Area most of us have stock that has appreciated in value. Your stock broker can transfer stocks and bonds to the Clinics, you get the value as we sell it, which is much more than you paid, and you get the value at transfer as a tax deduction. A real win-win!
- Life Insurance: Do you have a $50,000 policy that you no longer need? Either donate the policy to us or simply name the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics as the beneficiary. There is no tax benefit to this but it provides a very generous gift in your name upon your death.
- Bequests: Have you made provisions in your will to include the Free Clinics?
- Charitable Gift Annuity: This gift gives you a deduction now for money transferred later.
- Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity: This option has current tax benefits but delays the payment until you reach a certain age.
- Pooled Income Fund: The Haight Ashbury Free Clinics has established a pooled income fund with Bank of America to receive gifts from donors who don’t have the time to complete all their individual plans in this area. Our donors retain an income interest in the fund for their lifetimes. The payout to beneficiaries is determined by the interest and dividends earned by the fund each year.
- Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT): This trust pays the donor and one other person of the donor’s choice, a specified annuity for either life or a period not to exceed 20 years.
- Charitable Lead Trust: This type of trust pays income to Haight Ashbury Free Clinics and others whom you favor at the same time for a period of years. The remainder of the trust passes to your beneficiaries, such as family members.
- Real Estate: This is a great way to really help the Free Clinics and have a very tax-friendly outcome.
- Tangible Personal Property: Yes, your artwork that no one else in your family likes, as well as valuable antiques, provide a great way to support the Clinics.
- Bank Accounts and CDs: Did you know that by naming the Free Clinics as a “payable-upon-death” beneficiary, you can avoid probate? Your bank has a simple form and you can change this anytime you wish!
- Retirement Plan Assets: For many who have had careers spanning multiple employers, those retirement assets can be an attractive option from a tax point of view.
