Other ways to give

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD): If you are 72 years old and you have a traditional IRA, you are eligible to make a tax-free donation called a QCD from your IRA directly to HFBA. This gift is always tax-free, regardless of whether or not you itemize deductions on your tax return.  For more information, please contact your financial advisor or Amy Koplow at [email protected]. 

Transferring Stocks: Appreciated stocks represent your best opportunity for giving back. When you cash out your stocks, you are required to pay the capital gains tax. However, you can avoid this tax and deduct a higher amount on your tax return by transferring the stock directly to Hebrew Free Burial Association.  For more information, please contact your financial advisor or Amy Koplow at [email protected].
