bequests
To make a gift of stock or appreciated securities, email ColesvilleRotaryCommFoundation@gmail.com or call 607-828-9298 for instructions.
Consult with your financial advisor about your tax strategies. Some donors can increase their gift and their tax deduction by donating appreciated securities directly to the Foundation rather than selling them and donating the after-tax proceeds.
​
Making a gift to the Foundation through your will or living trust is a wonderful way to establish an enduring legacy in Colesville. In most instances, bequests will be added to the Foundation's endowment fund unless otherwise designated by the donor.

RETIREMENT ASSETS
Once you reach a certain age--check with your financial advisor or the IRS website to determine that age based on your birth year--you are subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and most 401(k) and 403(b) account. You can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to the Foundation and avoid paying taxes on the amount you give.
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS
A simple, flexible way to make a deferred gift, you can name the Foundation as the sole or partial beneficiary of IRAs and retirement assets, life insurance policies, donor advised funds, and commercial annuities. Check with the administrator of your asset to learn how to complete a change-of-beneficiary form. Notify the Foundation, and you will automatically be a member of the Legacy Society.
READILY MARKETABLE PROPERTY
The Foundation may accept gifts of readily marketable real estate and other types of property per the guidelines of its Gift Acceptance Policy. Such gifts may not include encumbrances (e.g. mortgages, easements, environmental mitigation requirements, etc). Gifts of property are most likely to be sold by the Foundation so that proceeds can be used to fund Colesville nonprofits or to grow the Foundation's endowment.
DONOR RECOGNITION
​
Colesville Rotary Community Foundation will be an enduring resource for the Town of Colesville, working together with other Foundations and supporters to make common-sense funding decisions that support and improve the quality of life in the township. At the discretion of the Board of Directors and based on consultation with financial advisors, donated funds will be used both for current needs in Colesville and to endow the Foundation so funds are available for future needs.​
Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated.
