Ways
of Giving
Pledges
Pledges are gifts that may be contributed over
a period of time. Donors are welcome to make
payments by any payment schedule desired, be
it in quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or monthly
installments.
Gifts
of Cash
A gift of cash or personal check is the most
frequently used method of giving, and the simplest.
Please make checks payable to Global Service
Foundation.
Appreciated
Securities
Contributions of appreciated securities are
always welcome. This type of donation may offer
you capital gains tax incentives when they have
been held long term. The income tax deduction
for a charitable contribution of stock is typically
equal to the fair market value of the gift.
Real
and Personal Property Gifts
Real estate and marketable items of personal
property with established values can be donated
to Global Service Foundation as outright gifts.
You may deduct the fair market value of real
estate held long-term. To prevent capital gains
tax, the gift should be made before the appreciated
property is sold.
Corporation or
Business Gifts
Donors may arrange for gifts to be made by corporations.
Donors who may have closely held or family-held
businesses may be able to prevent double taxation
by considering making company gifts, rather
than personal gifts.
