Your gift may be designated to honor a family member, pay tribute to a friend, or commemorate someone who inspired you.
Donate Securities
If you have large capital gains in your investment accounts, consider donating those stocks. You’ll get a full charitable donation credit for the fair market value of the gift and the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art—as a qualifying tax-exempt organization—can sell the stocks without paying capital gains tax, regardless of how much the stock has appreciated.
Please contact us at nma.development@purchase.edu or 914.251.6109 before initiating the transfer of stock or securities.
Make an IRA Charitable Rollover
(also known as Qualified Charitable Distribution)
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to qualified charities such as the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art.
Having the funds transferred directly from the IRA to a charity as a Qualified Charitable Distribution prevents the money from becoming taxable income and could help reduce the amount of Social Security retirement benefits that are deemed taxable. Your IRA charitable rollover gift can also satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution for the year.
