  Other Ways to Give:

   

• Donor Advised Funds (DAF)  

  This is a charitable giving option sponsored by a public charity and/or community foundation.  This option combines flexibility with favorable tax benefits to simplify your charitable giving.  When you make a contribution to a DAF, you will be eligible for an immediate tax deduction from the organization sponsoring the fund.  The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, simplifying paperwork for you.  While you decide which charities to support, your donation will grow tax-free, increasing the amount of money you can give to charities.  Three organizations that we already receive DAFs from are Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard.  We recommend that you talk with a financial advisor to get more information regarding this.

   

• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) 

  If you are 70 ½ years old or older you may be eligible to make a gift to MMS through a qualified charitable distribution from your individual retirement account (IRA).  There are some tax breaks for giving through a QCD.  Please speak to your financial advisor about this option.

   

• Matching Gifts 

  You can contact your employer to see if they have any company matching gift programs.  You can list Medical Mission Sisters as the recipient of the matching gift.

   

• Wills/Bequests

  You can specify within your will an amount or percentage of your estate you would like to give Medical Mission Sisters, after you have provided for your loved ones.  Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated!
