Plan to make a bigger difference
Let us help you
Reduce your taxes while giving
Stocks, bonds and mutual funds
Giving appreciated securities held more than one year allows you to receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset and avoids capital gains taxes you would otherwise pay on the appreciated amount. Marketable securities are valued at the average market price as of the transfer date.
Donor advised funds
By establishing a donor advised fund (DAF), you have the flexibility to choose how much and how often you contribute to your favorite charities. It’s simple and convenient to support Unbound by initiating a grant recommendation from your DAF.
Individual retirement accounts
If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 in funds per year from your IRA directly to Unbound. Commonly referred to as the IRA charitable rollover or qualified charitable distribution (QCD), your gift is not considered taxable income. This is an effective way to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution while supporting children, elders and families around the world.
Gifts of real estate
You can donate appreciated real estate to reduce your taxes while helping children, youth and elders build their paths out of poverty. You may also choose to donate only a portion of the property or retain use of the asset during your lifetime.
Give through your estate
Wills and trusts
No other planned gift is as simple to implement or as easy to change as estate or legacy gifts. Including Unbound in your will or trust costs nothing during your lifetime. You maintain use and control of assets and financial resources. However, the long-term funding it will provide later can create a lasting impact for a family in poverty. Please note, gifts intended to continue support for your sponsored friend should be made to Unbound for the benefit of the sponsored friend. Your sponsored friend should not be named directly in your will, trust, or a beneficiary designation.
Beneficiary designations
Similarly, naming Unbound as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan can provide a lasting gift with no current out-of-pocket cost. Easily establish Unbound as the beneficiary on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, commercial annuities, savings bonds or for DAF residuals by contacting your provider.

Receive income from your gift
Charitable gift annuities
Through a charitable gift annuity, you transfer cash, securities or other property to Unbound and receive a charitable deduction, potential tax savings on capital gains, and fixed income each year to you and/or another designated beneficiary for a specified period or your lifetime. When the annuity payments end, the remaining principal is available to Unbound, continuing your legacy of empowering families to build their paths out of poverty.
Charitable remainder trusts
A charitable remainder trust allows you to transfer a gift of cash, securities, property or other assets to a third-party trustee for the future benefit of a designated charity, such as Unbound. You may continue to use the property and/or receive income from the gift for a specified period or your life, at which time Unbound would receive the remainder or residual portion of the trust assets.
