Each individual, family or organization we work with has unique charitable interests and unique financial circumstances. We help you make the most of both, so you receive the greatest return on your community investment. Your gift qualifies for maximum charitable benefit under federal law.
Cash
Gifts of cash or currency
Appreciated Securities
Donors who gift appreciated securities can reduce the related capital gains included in income tax purposes from 50% to 25%.
Gifts of Real Property
Individuals may donate their home or other real estate.
Wills and Bequests
You can designate a gift or portion of your estate to your community foundation and in some cases, receive a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes.
Life Insurance Policy
You can designate the community foundation to receive a portion or all of the proceeds from your life insurance, reducing your estate taxes, or you can transfer the policy to the foundation's name and receive an immediate tax receipt for the cash surrender value.
Wealth Replacement Policy
Donors may make a lifetime gift to the Foundation, and take out an insurance policy to benefit the estate for that amount.
Transfer of a Private Foundation
A private foundation or Charitable Trust can be transferred to the Abbotsford Community Foundation while retaining its identity.
