DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Recommend a gift from your donor-advised fund (DAF) to support the War Memorial Center’s programs and services for veterans. If your DAF participates, you can recommend a grant directly through DAF Direct.
LEGACY GIFTS
The War Memorial Center will work with you to help accomplish your estate planning goals. Gifts can be revocable or irrevocable. Provide for the future needs of the War Memorial Center in your will or trust, or designate the War Memorial Center as the beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
STOCK GIFTS
Donating long-term appreciated stock is a smart charitable planning strategy that enables you to deduct the full fair market value of the stock at the time of your gift and eliminate capital gains taxes. A gift of appreciated stock enables you to donate more to the War Memorial Center compared to selling the stock and donating the proceeds.
