More Ways to Make an Impact

Your gift can reflect both the causes you care about and the way you plan for the future. Start with our team before arranging a transfer or naming a gift in your plans.

Give Appreciated Stock

Put your investments to work for good.

Considering a gift of publicly traded stock or other securities? Talk with your advisor about the potential tax treatment of donating an asset instead of selling it first.

How to get started
Ask our team which securities can be accepted and request the correct transfer details. Then coordinate with your advisor or broker and let us know about the intended gift.

Use a Donor-Advised Fund

Connect your charitable fund to local impact.

A donor-advised fund lets you recommend grants through the organization that sponsors your fund. If you would like to recommend a grant to Goodwill CMH, contact us for the organization details your sponsor needs.

How to get started
Confirm our legal name and tax identification information with our team, then follow your fund sponsor’s grant recommendation process.

Give From Your IRA

Plan your gift with your retirement goals in mind.

If you are age 70½ or older, ask your IRA custodian or tax advisor whether a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is right for you. An eligible QCD goes directly from your IRA to an eligible charity and may count toward a required minimum distribution.

Your next step: Contact our team to discuss an IRA gift and confirm the information your custodian needs before arranging a distribution.

Include Goodwill in Your Estate Plans

A gift in your will, trust, or beneficiary plans can express the values that matter most to you. Start a conversation about the lasting impact you would like your gift to have.

Your next step: Ask our team for the organization details your attorney or financial advisor needs. Work with your advisor to choose the arrangement and wording that fit your wishes.
