Please contact Veronica Renzo at Scenic Hudson (phone 845 473 4440, ext. 108; vrenzo@scenichudson.org) for assistance with a stock gift or for transfer of any other form of marketable property.
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. You can establish a DAF through your local community foundation or other financial services institutions. If you have a DAF, you can make gifts to Scenic Hudson through this vehicle by recommending one through the DAF’s sponsoring organization.
DAFdirect is a tool that allows you to make a gift directly through your DAF, as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating (see the dropdown menu for a list of organizations.)
If you don’t see your financial institution listed, please contact your DAF’s sponsoring organization to make a gift.
A QCD (also called an IRA charitable distribution or IRA charitable rollover) allows individuals age 70 ½ and older the opportunity to donate to Scenic Hudson from your IRA (Traditional or Roth), potentially satisfying the required annual minimum distribution and reducing your taxable income. QCDs are made directly to the eligible charity from the IRA. The money is a transfer to the charity that never passes through the hands of the IRA holder.
For more information, consult with your financial institution or tax advisor.
