Cash
One of the most common ways to make a gift to American Ancestors is to write a check, make a gift using a credit card, or donate online.
Appreciated Securities
Giving appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting American Ancestors.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield you or your heirs from taxes while funding American Ancestors’s future.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages, and make a significant charitable gift to American Ancestors.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support American Ancestors.
