Other Ways to Give

gift of stock

There are distinct income tax advantages to making a gift of stock or securities. Avoid paying capital gains tax on appreciated stocks or securities by donating them to PlayWrite!

Contact our Development Director, Katherine Lefever, with any questions.

Donor advised fund

Donor Advised Funds are a simple and efficient way to direct your charitable giving to PlayWrite. Already have a Donor Advised Fund? Speak to your fund representative or financial advisor to allocate charitable giving to PlayWrite. Want to establish a Donor Advised Fund? Ask your financial institution or advisor, or a representative from any organization that sponsors Donor Advised Funds to learn about how to establish your own. The Oregon Community Foundation, serving the state of Oregon, has valuable information about Donor Advised Funds on their website: oregoncf.org

Planned gift

Planned Gifts are a way to make a lasting contribution without affecting your current financial security. Please consider including PlayWrite, Inc. in your will or making a distribution of cash or securities from your IRA, retirement account, or Living Trust. Make a Bequest to support PlayWrite’s work. Naming PlayWrite, Inc. (ID 20-0414784) in your will or Living Trust is an easy way to make a timeless gift. You may choose to leave a specific amount of cash, a percentage of your total estate, or the residual assets after other commitments have been fulfilled. Since bequests are deductible from the estate, including a charitable gift in your estate plan can result in significant tax savings for your family. Learn more about why you should have a will.

give from your ira

Give from your IRA or other Retirement Account. Making a gift of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(K), 403(b), IRA, or pension plan is another way to benefit PlayWrite and receive significant tax savings. Under the PATH Act of 2015, donors over the age of 70½ can distribute up to $100,000 in a calendar year from an IRA to charity, tax-free. Consider making your minimum required annual distribution to PlayWrite! Learn more here.
