Thinking About End-of-Year Giving?

Consider These Approaches

As we celebrate the holiday season and #GivingTuesday, you may be considering your end-of-year giving. Here are three ways you can meet your giving goals — and help elevate the health of our communities by supporting Enloe Health.

Give From Your IRA

You can make a qualified charitable gift from your individual retirement account directly to a qualified charity without affecting your cash flow. If you’re at least 70.5 years old, you can use the IRA Charitable Rollover to give up to $100,000 from your IRA and avoid paying federal income tax on those funds. This type of giving may also qualify as your required minimum distribution. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a rollover gift from your IRA to Enloe.

Consider a Gift of Stock

Gifting stock instead of cash is another way to make a significant contribution without affecting your monthly cash flow. If the stock has increased in value since you acquired it, you can also avoid capital gains. Contact the Enloe Health Foundation to learn how to make stock gifts this year.

Use Your Credit Card

Recurring gifts accumulate to make a substantial difference over time — and you can easily make them using your credit or debit card. Visit www.enloe.org/donate to sign up. As a bonus, you may also accumulate points for future travels or purchases. Review your credit card benefits for details.

Regardless of the method you use to support Enloe with a gift to the Enloe Health Foundation, your gift will make a significant impact on patients and families in the North State. Thank you for making Enloe one of your charities of choice.
