Stocks and Securities
Giving appreciated assets such as stocks, securities, and mutual funds can help you avoid paying capital gains taxes. And if you’ve had the assets for more than one year, you can also receive an income tax deduction. As always, we recommend that you consult your tax or financial professional for advice before making charitable donations. For more information, please contact Julia Harris at j.harris@comicrelief.org.
Donor-Advised Funds
Giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF) allows you to make charitable contributions and receive an immediate tax deduction. The funds are managed by a DAF custodian and the donor can recommend grants to their preferred nonprofit organizations. Donors can contribute to the fund over time and recommend grants to charities at their discretion, providing flexibility in their giving strategy. For more information, please contact Julia Harris at j.harris@comicrelief.org.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
Giving through a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70 ½ or older to donate up to $100,000 to one or more charities from their individual retirement account (IRA). QCDs can count towards satisfying an individual’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year, which is the minimum amount that an individual must withdraw from their IRA each year once they reach age 73. For more information, please contact Julia Harris at j.harris@comicrelief.org.

Workplace Giving & Matching Gifts
Many employers offer programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees, effectively doubling (or even tripling) your gift. By participating, you’re not only supporting the causes you care about but also increasing your impact with every dollar. Check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program or help you donate directly through payroll giving. For more information, please contact Marisa Xhafa at m.xhafa@comicrelief.org.
Tribute Gifts
Make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one. Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to support our mission while making a personal connection.
