Donor-advised funds & strategic gifts
One strategic gift, a lifetime of reading success. Giving through a donor-advised fund, appreciated stock, or your estate often costs you less than giving cash — and does more for students.
Give through your donor-advised fund
Recommend a distribution from your DAF and the gift is made in your fund’s name. Learning Ally does not manage donor-advised funds, but you can send your grant to us in a few clicks.
- An immediate tax deduction when you contribute to your fund.
- No capital gains tax on long-term assets such as stock.
- Tax-free growth on the investments inside your fund.
- No private-foundation overhead — no start-up costs or administrative expenses.
Gifts of stock
Giving appreciated securities or mutual funds directly is almost always better than selling them first. It may help you diversify your assets and minimize capital gains taxes, so your gift goes further.
