A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings; avoiding capital gains tax on the increase of the stock and providing an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift.

For stock and wire transfers, contact Carlos Zuniga at (626) 403-8900 or CZuniga@EducationalAdvancement.org in advance to receive current transfer instructions and to have your gift credited appropriately.

Recommend a grant or recurring grants to IEA from your Donor Advised Fund. Contact your financial advisor if you are interested in creating a Donor Advised Fund.

Many employers will match an employee’s donation. This opportunity presents an additional source of income for IEA and an easy way to leverage your gift into a larger donation.

Check if your company offers an employee match on Charity Navigator.

Make a gift in honor or memory of a friend or family member or in recognition of a significant event. Please indicate the name of the person or occasion when you make your donation.
Planned gifts such as bequests allow donors to give a lasting legacy and help to ensure IEA’s ability to serve gifted children for generations to come. Gift planning choices can also present practical options for safeguarding your financial security and realizing tax advantages. Click here to learn more about Planned Giving.
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can give any amount up to $105,000 per year directly from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as IEA, without having to pay income taxes on the gift. This option is called the IRA charitable rollover or a qualified charitable distribution (QCD for short). Please contact your IRA plan administrator to set up a qualified charitable distribution.
