Gifts of Cash Q&A
Are there benefits to donating cash instead of using securities to fund a charitable gift?
Yes. It’s a simple and easy way to give. Plus, if you itemize on your tax return, you can claim charitable deductions for gifts of cash up to 50 percent of your contribution base, which generally is equal to your adjusted gross income. This is compared to only 30 percent for most gifts of appreciated securities.
Actual savings from cash gifts depend upon your tax bracket – the higher the tax bracket, the higher the deduction. For instructions on how to make a gift of cash to The Dayton Foundation, click here.
With any gift arrangement, we recommend that you consult with your financial planner or attorney first. All gifts are subject to approval by the Foundation's Gift Acceptance Committee and the Governing Board.
For more information or to discuss a gift plan that works for your individual needs, contact a member of our Development Department at (937) 222-0410.
