Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows donors to recommend grants to Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County.

What are the main advantages of a donor-advised fund?

Simplicity: the donor-advised fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.

Flexibility: timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision-making.

Tax-efficiency: contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes.

Family legacy: a DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.

Initiate a grant recommendation from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF). Search for us by our tax ID/EIN number: 91-0549511

Gifts of Stock

Donating appreciated stock is an easy and great way to invest in the next generation! Do you own stock that’s increased in value since its purchase? If you have owned the stock for at least one year, there is a unique opportunity for philanthropy.

When someone donates securities to Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County, they receive the same income tax savings (if they itemize) as if they wrote BGCSC a check directly, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains tax on the transfer.

IRA Gifts

If you are over the age of 70, you can support Club kids and teens by designating a gift from your IRA’s required minimum distribution, which provides additional tax benefits to you.

To make a gift from your IRA:

• You must be 70 ½ or older
• Your gift must be transferred directly from your IRA account to Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County
• If you are 72 or older, the transfer of funds counts toward your annual required minimum distribution
• Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA, so it does not create taxable income for you and is not considered a charitable tax donation

Contact your financial advisor to understand how current tax laws may apply to your individual circumstances.

Honorary & Memorial Gifts

Remember a loved one or honor a mentor by giving a gift in their name to help Club kids. Donations in honor or memory of individuals make wonderful tributes to special friends or family members.
