The gift of an appreciated asset is a powerful way to support Modern Military’s work. Your gift of securities will entitle you to a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize your tax returns. In the case of appreciated securities, you may deduct the full fair market value of your gift once you have held onto the securities for at least one year. In addition, you will avoid paying capital gains tax on all stock that you choose to donate to Modern Military.
- You can authorize your stock broker or your bank to complete the transfer process. Please instruct your broker or bank to speak with Modern Military’s executive director.
- If you hold the physical securities (stock certificates), you can directly mail the certificate(s) without any endorsement or assignment.
- Please enclose a letter stating the purpose of your gift (for example, “to benefit all of the programs of Modern Military”). In a separate envelope, please include a signed stock power form for each gift (available from your bank or broker). Please note that except for your signature exactly as your name appears on the stock certificate, the stock power form should be blank.
Transfer a Gift from Your IRA – Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). The Pension Protection Act of 2006 gives those at least 70½ years of age the opportunity to make tax-free charitable gifts from IRA funds, including the minimum required distribution. Please also consider making Modern Military Association of America a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
Non-probate assets—such as an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts—need to be planned separately.
