There are Many Ways to Give

Planned giving provides an excellent way to leave a legacy by providing a future gift while generating income, immediate tax savings and other benefits today. Wills, life insurance policies, retirement accounts and other planning vehicles can offer special ways to leave a lasting legacy to help others.

Donate Stock

When you donate stock that you have held for more than a year that has grown in value since you purchased it, you receive a charitable deduction for the current value and eliminate the capital gains tax. Learn more about donating stock to Mountain Home HERE. (This information is not personal tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor for assistance with your giving strategy.)

Donated Directly from an IRA

IRA gifts can be a powerful way to save while you give. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be applied to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). You can direct a QCD of up to $108,000 from your IRA to Mountain Home. Even if you are not required to draw a distribution from your IRA, a QCD is a tax-smart way to make charitable gifts.

Donors 70 1/2 or older can give up to $100,000 to charity directly from their IRA. Although you won’t get a tax deduction, you also won’t have to include the required draw-down from your IRA as taxable income.*

Bequests

The simplest way to leave a planned gift to Mountain Home is through your will or trust.To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

We also have Sample Language for a Will or Living Trust

Workplace Giving

Ask your employer if they participate in workplace giving. This is an easy way to give donations directly from your paycheck to charities you care about like Mountain Home. And check to see if your employer matches gifts to maximize your donation! Note: Mountain Home takes part in the University of Montana workplace giving program as well as the federal employee Coordinated Federal Campaign.

Donate Supplies for Mountain Home Programming

Donations can be made through the Mountain Home Amazon Wishlist. This is an easy way to donate badly-needed items to Mountain Home from any part of the country. All items purchased through this wish list will be shipped directly to Mountain Home.

Montana Endowment Tax Credit

The Montana Endowment Tax Credit offers a unique way to support Mountain Home while reducing your Montana state income tax. By making a planned gift to the permanent endowment, individuals can receive a credit for 40% of the qualifying charitable portion of their gift (20% for businesses), up to an annual maximum of $15,000 per individual/business or $30,000 for a couple. Unlike a deduction, which lowers your taxable income, a $15,000 tax credit saves you $15,000 in taxes, dollar for dollar. Make a lasting impact and enjoy substantial tax savings.

For details on how you can set up a planned gift and/or access some of Mountain Home's tax-smart giving options, please contact Allison Strekal, Senior Director of Philanthropy, at 406-203-1676 or allison@mountainhomemt.org
