Tax Smart Giving Options

Donate Stock or Other Securities

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use the button below to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve.

If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the button below to notify Paws for Life of your gift.

Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

Donate Cryptocurrency

We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.

Make a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Grant

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies Paws for Life of your intentions.  Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
