Types of Gifts

Flexibility is one of the most appealing advantages for donors who give through the Garnett Community Foundation. We offer a variety of tax-effective ways for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to achieve their charitable goals and create a legacy of ongoing impact for the community they love.

Cash

The simplest and most common form of gift that provides immediate resources and qualifies for the maximum allowable income tax deductions.

Publicly Traded Securities

Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds allows the donor to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction. 

Real Estate

Gifts of property such as homes, commercial buildings, or land may be donated to the Foundation at current market value, allowing the donor to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction.

Tangible Personal Property

Physical items such as art, jewelry, or valuable collections can be donated to the foundation, subject to our gift acceptance policy. 

Planned Giving

Include the foundation in your will or estate planning through a bequest, retirement account, or life insurance policy.
