Harness the power of philanthropy while optimizing your financial strategy.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund is your own charitable savings account. You contribute as frequently as you like and recommend grants to nonprofits like ours, all while potentially earning immediate tax benefits.

Donating appreciated stocks can provide substantial support to our cause, potentially help you avoid capital gains taxes, and claim a tax deduction based on the full market value of your stocks.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
A qualified charitable distribution transfers funds from your IRA to a nonprofit. It counts towards your required minimum distributions for the year without treating the distribution as taxable income.

Cryptocurrency donations are a tax-efficient way to give. By donating cryptocurrency, you potentially avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation and can deduct the asset's fair market value.
Other Ways to Give
While cash and check donations are most immediate, there are additional ways you can donate to Greater Good Charities to maximize your gift.
- Employer Matching: Leverage your employer's matching program to double your impact.
- Vehicle Donations: Give your used car or vehicle a second life while claiming a tax deduction.
- Monthly Donations: Spread your giving throughout the year by making a monthly donation and enjoy consistent tax benefits.
Giving strategically makes a positive impact while maximizing your tax benefits.
