Please notify the development officer in your region that the stock transfer has been requested and provide the name of the donor, the name of the security, the number of shares transferred, and the name of the fund you wish to direct the gift. If you have any questions, please contact your development officer.
If you are 70½ or older, you may wish to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to NCCF.
Note: IRS regulations prohibit Qualified Charitable Distributions from being made to donor advised funds. Please contact the development officer in your region if you have questions.

NCCF accepts a variety of assets, allowing for flexible giving. These require prior approval and may have other conditions of acceptance, and our staff works closely with you to accomplish your charitable giving goals.
Life insurance: Name NCCF as beneficiary of your life insurance policy or transfer the policy irrevocably to NCCF and receive a tax deduction for the policy’s cash value.
Real property: A gift of commercial or residential real estate owned for more than a year entitles the owner to a tax deduction for the property’s full fair market value while allowing the owner to avoid capital gains tax.
Closely-held stock: Donating closely held stock of your or another business offers you a charitable deduction for the appraised fair market value and potential saving of capital gains tax. For maximum tax benefit, contribute before any liquidation event including retirement, selling a business, taking a company public or merging with another business.
NCCF offers many options for planned gifts. Some of these vehicles allow you to make charitable contributions while preserving economic security for yourself and your loved ones. Planned gifts also can provide you with important tax savings and other benefits, while allowing you to leave a permanent, growing legacy. Learn more about these giving options.
