Smart Giving

Smart Gifts are designed to help you maximize your charitable giving while supporting the causes you care about.

Each Smart Giving method offers unique tax benefits, allowing you to make a difference in a way that aligns with your financial goals – pretty “smart”, right?

Stock Gifts

Donating appreciated stocks can provide substantial support to SafeHaven while potentially helping you avoid capital gains taxes. You may also claim a tax deduction based on the full market value of the stocks.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A DAF works like a charitable savings account. You contribute as often as you like and then recommend grants to nonprofits like SafeHaven, all while potentially receiving immediate tax benefits.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

A QCD allows you to transfer funds directly from your IRA to a nonprofit. These distributions count toward your required minimum distributions without being treated as taxable income.

Cryptocurrency Gifts

Donating cryptocurrency is a modern, tax-efficient way to give. You may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets and deduct the fair market value of your donation.
