A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a way to support Eastcastle Place while providing income for yourself now and into the future and gaining tax benefits today.

At the end of your lifetime, the remaining donation goes to support Eastcastle Place’s life-changing programs.

Workplace Giving and Employer Matches

Payroll Deductions
Your company may allow employees to contribute to the nonprofit of their choice through payroll deductions. Some employers do this through nationally known organizations such as United Way or the Combined Federal Campaign for Federal Employees. Large corporations such as PG&E and Wells Fargo have their own workplace giving divisions.

If you would like to support Eastcastle Place through payroll deductions, we encourage you to consult your human resources department to find out if your employer offers a workplace giving program.

Matching Gifts
Your employer may match your gift to Eastcastle Place, allowing you to increase the power of your donation. The amount of the match varies but can be as much as double the amount you donate. We encourage you to consult your human resources department to find out if your employer offers a matching gift program. If they do, follow their guidelines to donate and initiate a match.

Securities and Other Ways To Give

Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds
A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is an excellent way to make a meaningful impact at Eastcastle Place while lowering your tax liability. When you donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds, you receive an income tax deduction for the market value of the asset on the date of transfer. You also avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation. Please contact us to discuss and to obtain Eastcastle Place’s brokerage account and clearing numbers.

Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a kind of charitable account in which a donor makes a tax-deductible gift to the account and can donate money to specific organizations at a later date. While donors receive tax benefits at the time they give to a DAF, charitable organizations don’t receive any benefits until a grant is made.

If you have a DAF, you can make a difference today! Contact your DAF manager to recommend Eastcastle Place for a grant.

Qualified Charitable Distributions From Individual Retirement Accounts
If you are 70.5 or older and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can make a meaningful impact through an IRA charitable rollover, also called Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution but does not count as taxable income. Giving to Eastcastle Place through an IRA QCD is an easy and effective way to simplify your tax return and increase your impact to help older adults stay in their beloved home. To make a tax-free gift from your IRA, contact your account manager or financial professional.
