Thoughtful gift planning can help you create greater impact while supporting your broader financial and philanthropic goals. Many choose to take advantage of these giving vehicles.
Stock and Appreciated Assets
Donating stock, bonds, or mutual funds avoids capital gains tax and often means giving more at less cost than a cash gift of the same size.
IRA Charitable Rollover (QCD)
At 70½ or older, you can contribute directly from your IRA, excluded from taxable income and counted toward your required minimum distribution. The annual limit adjusts each year with inflation; confirm the current figure with your advisor before giving.

Real Estate or Business Interests
Property, business shares, or other complex assets can unlock significant tax benefits.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable gifts dollar for dollar, some at two or three times the original amount. Check with your HR department. It costs you nothing and can double your impact.
Crypto
We accept nearly all forms of cryptocurrency through a secure, zero-fee partner.
Foundations in Education does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Please consult your own tax advisor or financial professional to determine how a gift of this kind applies to your individual circumstances.
Transforming lives through education.
Hold the door open permanently.
A named endowed scholarship turns one decision into annual opportunity. It can honor your family, a teacher, a loved one, or the education that helped shape your own life. In 2018, Mary Alice and Thomas O'Malley committed $500,000 to honor their parents and establish a scholarship for children of firefighters, police officers, and nurses. Eight years later, that fund has provided 31 awards for 21 students, and it continues to serve new students.
Let your commitment to education continue.
A gift through your will, trust, retirement account, life-insurance policy, or donor-advised fund can create opportunity for students well into the future.
