Gift of Appreciated Stock*
If you itemize deductions on your tax return instead of using the standard deduction, making a gift through a transfer of appreciated stock you have owned for more than one year directly to LAP Foundation of North Carolina may increase the impact of your gift, as opposed to selling the appreciate stock, paying capital gains tax and contributing the balance. If you are interested in making such a gift, please call or email us for transfer instructions.
Grant from Your Donor Advised Fund*
If you have a donor advised fund, consider recommending a grant from your fund to LAP Foundation of North Carolina.
Charitable Rollover of your IRA*
If you are over 70 ½ years of age, you can make a qualified charitable distribution to LAP Foundation of North Carolina. Although you will receive no charitable deduction on your income tax return, the distribution, if made properly, may satisfy your required minimum distribution, in whole or part.
