More Ways to Give
Give in the way that
fits your life.
Beyond the donate button: donor-advised funds, appreciated stock, employer matching, and gifts that outlast us all.
Donor-Advised Funds
Recommend a grant.
If you give through a donor-advised fund — Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, Daffy, or any sponsoring organization — recommending a grant to The Legacy Foundation takes a few minutes in your sponsor's portal. Your sponsor will need the details below.
- Legal name
- The Legacy Foundation
- Tax status
- 501(c)(3) Public Charity
- EIN
- 20-4557510
DAF grants often arrive without donor information. If you'd like us to know the gift came from you — and we would — send a note to donations@supportlegacy.org so we can thank you properly.
Stock, Securities & Wire
Give appreciated assets.
Donating appreciated stock or securities held longer than a year is often the most tax-efficient way to give: you may deduct the full fair-market value and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. That is a larger gift to the mission at a lower cost to you. We also accept gifts by wire transfer and check.
We can send whichever set of instructions you need: DTC details for securities, or wire details for cash gifts. Within two business days, someone from the Office of the Executive Director will reply.
Request transfer detailsPlease consult your tax advisor about the treatment of your specific gift.
Wine, Art, Vehicles & More
Give a gift of property.
Some of the most efficient gifts aren't cash. Fine wine, fine art, a vehicle, jewelry, or other valuable property can often be donated at full fair-market value while avoiding the capital gains a sale would trigger. We place each gift through a reputable consignment, auction, or sale partner. We handle the logistics end to end, so you don't ship or coordinate a thing.
Explore in-kind givingGifts over $5,000 generally require a qualified appraisal (IRS Form 8283); vehicles follow Form 1098-C rules. Please consult your tax advisor.
Employer Matching
Double your gift.
Thousands of employers match their employees' charitable gifts, often dollar for dollar and sometimes more. A few minutes of paperwork can double the seats, books, and mentorship hours your gift funds.
