Love That Lives On

Leave a Lasting Impact Through Legacy Giving

Supporting Porch de Salomon doesn’t have to be limited to today. Many donors choose to extend their impact by including the organization in their estate plans.

A legacy gift can be as simple as naming Porch de Salomon in your will or as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. These types of gifts can often be made without affecting your current financial situation, while allowing you to make a meaningful future contribution to the mission.

Legacy giving offers a thoughtful way to align your long-term values with lasting impact—helping ensure that Porch de Salomon can continue its work for years to come.

For more information on including Porch de Salomon in your estate plans, please contact our Treasurer at treasurerpds@gmail.com or consult your financial advisor.
Give Smarter: Donate Appreciated Securities
If you’ve held stocks or mutual funds that have increased in value, donating those investments directly to Porch de Salomon can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. By gifting appreciated securities, you may avoid paying capital gains taxes on the growth while still receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value of the donation. This allows more of your gift to go directly toward supporting Porch de Salomon’s mission.

For many donors, this can be a more effective way to give than cash—especially when markets have performed well—often allowing you to make a greater impact with the same resources. For more information on making a gift of appreciated securities to Porch de Salomon, please contact our Treasurer at treasurerpds@gmail.com or consult your financial advisor.
Turning 73 This Year? Consider a Smarter Way to Give
If you’re turning 73 this year, you may be required to begin taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your IRA. While these distributions are typically taxable, there is a simple way to reduce the tax impact while supporting Porch de Salomon.

Through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), you can direct up to $100,000 per year from your IRA to a qualified charity. These gifts count toward your RMD but are excluded from your taxable income—allowing more of your distribution to go directly toward the mission.

Even better, using a QCD can help lower your adjusted gross income, which may have additional benefits when it comes to Medicare premiums and the taxation of Social Security. For more information on making a charitable gift to Porch de Salomon, please contact our Treasurer at treasurerpds@gmail.com or consult your financial advisor.
