IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER

IRA charitable rollover allows you to support the organizations you care about while avoiding heavy taxation. If beloved family members are beneficiaries of your retirement funds, they could receive as little as 25%. IRAs and 401(k) plans are taxed as income to your heirs, and in addition may be subject to estate tax. Alternatively, naming Kids Around the World (KATW) as a beneficiary ensures the entire amount passes tax-free to the charity, while allowing for separate provisions for loved ones.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

Make a gift from your stock or bonds.

Transferring securities as charitable gifts presents a tax-efficient way to support your favored causes.  Securities, like stocks or bonds, passed down to heirs incur capital gains taxes and may also be subject to estate tax. Alternatively, designating Kids Around the World  as a beneficiary for your securities ensures the full amount goes directly to our mission.

DONOR ADVISED FUND

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) offers a streamlined approach to philanthropy while involving loved ones in the planned giving process. It allows you to donate to charities during your lifetime and encourages your children to continue your legacy of giving. 

With a DAF, your charitable contributions grow tax-free, creating more charitable dollars granted to nonprofits, charities, and causes that mean the most to you.
