How To Give:

The Haddonfield Educational Trust offers donors a variety of assets and vehicles to make their charitable contributions:

Cash:

Cash is one of the easiest ways to make a charitable contribution. A cash contribution to the Trust can be in the form of cash, check, money order or cashiers check.

Stocks and Bonds:

If appreciated, marketable or closely-held securities, such as stocks and bonds, offer the donor the ability to realize significant tax savings while maximizing charitable contributions.

Retirement Plan Assets (IRAs):

Retirement plan assets can be one of the most favorable assets to donate.

Real Estate:

Real estate may be given at appraised value to the Trust. If appreciated, capital gain taxes may be avoided on the real estate appreciation if the property is contributed to the Trust. Gifting real estate may allow the donor to preserve his liquid assets while maximizing his charitable contributions.

Life Insurance:

Life insurance can be an effective means for a donor to fund his charitable giving plan without significant outlays of cash.

Retain Income from a Charitable Gift:

The Haddonfield Educational Trust can assist with gifts in which donors retain income from the charitable gifts. With this technique, the donor may contribute the assets) to the Trust and continue to receive income from the asset(s) for his lifetime. This can be done with a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
