There are almost as many variations on ways to make a donation as there are needs to be met. Explore this section to discover new ways to make a gift that also takes into consideration your personal circumstances and the needs of your heirs. Learn how to help others and NYFS by using one of the most popular and simplest ways to make a gift.



Cash


This is the most simple and common way to make a gift. Cash donations are deductible if you itemize in the year of contribution. We hope that you consider NYFS in your year-end contribution plan.



Upright Gift of Real Estate


You can donate to NYFS a property that is not mortgaged, has appreciated in value, and you no longer need to use. You can deduct the fair market value of your gift and avoid all capital gains taxes. Plus this allows you to remove that asset from your taxable estate.


Donate Stocks

 

Donating appreciated stock can be a cost-effective way to make a gift to NYFS. If you itemize on your tax return, you will receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of your stock and will not pay capital gains on the appreciated value, if you have owned the stock longer than one year. To donate a stock, please call our Development Office at 651-379-3421. 


Memorial & Honorary Gifts


If you have a family member or a friend whose life has been touched by NYFS, we hope you'll consider making a gift to us in honor of that person.



Name Your Own Fund


This fund is designed for individuals, families or businesses who are willing to pledge to NYFS a gift of $5,000 or more to be given over three to five years. Your annual year- end, memorial or honorary gifts can be used to go toward meeting your pledged goal.


Endowed Gifts


Discover a powerful way to make a gift to us in your name or in the name of a loved one while realizing tax benefits for your kindness. This gift will ensure the financial stability of NYFS as the principal will not be invaded.
