Outright Gift

 

At the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin, we are able to offer a variety of giving methods designed for each donor’s unique situation. All of these methods give our donors opportunities for a variety of tax benefits. We encourage you to visit our Tax Benefits page to learn more!

 

Gift of Cash

A simple way to say you care

 

Cash gifts are one of the simplest ways to establish a fund or add to an existing fund at the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin. Cash gifts are fully deductible up to 50% of the donor's adjusted gross income in any one year. Deduction amounts exceeding this limit may be carried forward for up to five additional years.

 

Gift of Appreciated Stock

Turning stock market gains into community investment

 

Everybody wins when you make a gift of appreciated stock to the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin. Your gains are put to good use. Your gift of stock is reinvested in your community, and it qualifies for an immediate tax deduction based on the full market value. By giving stock through the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin, you can avoid capital gains taxes that could be due as a result of its sale. Your gift is then used to establish a fund that benefits the local causes and organizations you care about most. With gifts of appreciated stock, your stock market earnings translate into community impact, so you get a more rewarding return on your portfolio.

 

Gift of Real Estate

A charitable gift unearthed

 

Making a charitable gift of real estate through the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin can help you turn your property gains into community good. The value of your real estate may exceed that of any other asset you own. With the help of the Community Foundation, you can use it to fulfill your charitable interests and receive financial and tax benefits. A gift of real estate is an ideal way to attain a level of giving you may have never thought was possible. You receive the maximum tax deduction allowed and avoid capital gains tax.

 

The Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin established the CFPC Property, LLC just for the benefit of accepting real estate gifts. With the help of the Community Foundation, you can use the value of your property to fulfill your charitable interests and receive financial and tax benefits.
