Did you know that there are other ways to make a gift to the American Heritage Museum a program of Collings Foundation, Inc. outside of a cash donation each year? As a 501c3 non-profit organization, we have a number of other ways you can make an impact through smart giving of assets you may have never considered before.

If your investment portfolio has grown over time and you have appreciated stock available, did you know that you can easily transfer and donate stock?  Stock donations can be used as a tax-deductible charitable contribution and will also avoid potential capital gains taxes on the appreciated assets through the donation.  Learn more at our stock donation link.

If you have built a cryptocurrency portfolio and it has appreciated, you can also avoid the hassle of liquidation and donate crypto directly through our partnership with Crypto for Charity. Similar to stock donations, you can use it as a tax-deductible charitable contribution and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated cryptocurrency. Learn more by visiting our cryptocurrency donation link.

If you and your family have built and contributed to a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) with your financial advisors, you can easily designate a gift to the American Heritage Museum and Collings Foundation to make an easy and positive impact on our mission. Learn more by visiting our link on Donor Advised Funds. 

For donors over the age of 70½ years with a Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) as a direct transfer from your IRA custodian to support our mission. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met, and are not counted as taxable income to you. Learn more at our IRA QCD link.
