Cash Gifts
A gift of cash (either outright or through a multi-year pledge) is an
effective way to support Minnesota 4-H. You can realize tax savings
by deducting cash gifts from your taxable income (requires that you
itemize your deductions). Make checks payable to the MN 4-H Foundation.
Appreciated
Stock and Other Appreciated Securities
Appreciated stocks or securities can be especially advantageous gifts
by usually offering better tax advantages than donating cash. Your contribution
is figured at the current market value of the stock or security, and
by giving stocks directly you can avoid capital gains tax that you would
pay if you sold them directly.
Real Estate
You can save taxes if you make a gift of real property to the Minnesota
4-H Foundation. You are credited with a contribution valued at fair
market value of the real estate, which is determined by a real estate
appraiser.
Bequests
Gifts by will, whether in the form of cash, securities, or other property,
may be fully deducted in determining federal estate taxes and state
death taxes. You may designate a specific sum as a gift to Minnesota
4-H, or a portion of the remainder of your estate after provisions
for survivors are fulfilled, or a combination of these. The Minnesota
4-H Foundation has a full set of guidelines and suggested wording that
can be used for gifts made by will. We will be happy to send those
materials to you upon request.
Life Income Gifts
Life income gifts mean you irrevocably assign cash, securities, or other
assets to Minnesota 4-H. Those assets are then invested by the Foundation
to pay a percentage or fixed amount to you. Charitable gift annuities
are a popular form of life income gifts.
Gifts in Kind
The Foundation can receive certain valuable gifts of property or equipment
for which the Foundation has a use in connection with its mission.
