Help us unlock $50,000 by making a noncash gift!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we are so close to reaching an extraordinary milestone.
We are within reach of unlocking a $50,000 matching gift from an anonymous donor. Every dollar in noncash gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar — up to $50,000 — doubling the impact of your generosity to the La Crosse County Historical Society.
We are just $7,240 away from meeting this goal!
Noncash gifts are one of the most powerful, and often most tax-advantageous ways to give. If you’ve been considering a gift to LCHS, now is the perfect time to maximize both your impact and potential tax benefits. As always, we encourage you to consult your professional advisor about your specific situation.
Match Qualifying Gift Types
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are age 70½ or older, you have a unique opportunity to support LCHS in a tax-saving way through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. A QCD is a direct transfer from your IRA provider to a qualified charity like LCHS.
These gifts:
• Count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
• Satisfy your RMD beginning at age 73
• Are excluded from your taxable income
To make a QCD, instruct your IRA custodian to send the distribution directly to LCHS. Please check with your financial advisor for additional information.
Contribution limits: An individual may donate up to $111,000 per calendar year across all charities. If you file jointly, your spouse may also donate up to $111,000 from their IRA.
Eligible accounts include: Traditional IRAs, Rollover IRAs, Inherited IRAs, SEP IRAs (inactive plans only), SIMPLE IRAs (inactive plans only), and, under certain circumstances, Roth IRAs.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Donating appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be especially beneficial. By transferring these directly to LCHS:
● You may bypass capital gains tax
● You may deduct the full fair market value of the asset at the time of the gift
Donor-Advised Fund Distributions
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can also recommend a distribution to LCHS and have it matched.
