Year-End Deadlines for Charitable Giving

on October 2, 2020 in General by Web Development

The end of the year is fasting approaching. As you think of ways to support the causes you care about, Truman Heartland is here to help you prepare.

Contribute to Your Fund
There are a number of ways you can contribute to your donor advised fund now to enhance and increase your year-end giving plans.

Mail or stop by with a check. Checks should be made to Truman Heartland Community Foundation and include your fund’s name in the memo line.
Credit or Debit Card donations can be made online. Visit the Donate to a Fund page, search for your fund and complete the donation form.
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-smart ways to give. By donating appreciated stocks directly to your Donor Advised Fund you can maximize your charitable giving dollars while avoiding capital gains taxes.
Take advantage of employer matching gifts. Since Truman Heartland is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your Donor Advised Fund contributions may be eligible for a matching gift from your employer. Please see you company representative for details.
