Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account established through a financial institution, sponsoring organization, or community foundation. DAFs allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive potential tax benefits, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
Gifts of Stock
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a meaningful way to support Habitat for Humanity of Mason County while potentially receiving valuable tax benefits. A gift of securities can often provide a greater impact than a cash donation because you may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets and, in many cases, receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the gift. Gifts of stock and other securities help Habitat for Humanity of Mason County continue building affordable housing opportunities, preserving homes, and strengthening communities throughout Mason County. Stocks that have increased significantly in value and have been held for more than one year are often ideal assets for charitable giving. Every donor's financial situation is unique, so we encourage you to consult your financial advisor or tax professional regarding the specific benefits of making a gift of securities. To initiate a stock transfer or to receive transfer instructions, please contact our office at 360-426-8134. We would be happy to assist you and ensure your gift is directed to support our mission.
IRA Distributions
If you have an IRA and are at least 70 and half years old, you could make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to Tacoma Habitat, which would reduce your taxable income and create affordable housing solutions in our community.
