End of year giving

Did you know that donating stock can be more beneficial than donating cash to a charitable organization? As you or your clients consider year-end gifting options, consider a QCD (IRA charitable rollover) or gift of appreciated stock to help Catholic Charities. The organization serves the needs of the poor in northeast Ohio, no matter their religious affiliation or background of its recipients.

You can also use stock or cash to create the following items:

• Donor advised fund.

• Charitable gift annuity.

• Permanent named fund.

Sandy Lucas, director of planned giving for the Catholic Community Foundation, can answer any questions you have.
