Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

Do you already have a donor-advised fund set aside for charitable giving?

​

A donor-advised fund is a special charitable account you can use to support CASA of El Paso and other nonprofits over time. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction. It’s one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to make a lasting impact.

​

Employer Matching Gifts

Many employers offer matching gift programs that double—or even triple—the charitable contributions made by their employees. Check with your HR department to see if your company will match your support of CASA of El Paso.

​

Gifts of Stock

When you donate appreciated stock to CASA of El Paso, you receive a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift—and you avoid paying capital gains tax on its appreciation.

​

Benefits of gifting stocks or bonds include:

• Avoiding capital gains tax on appreciated securities

• Receiving a charitable income tax deduction

• Strengthening our mission through a high-impact gift

• ​

IRA or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

If you are age 70½ or older, you may support CASA of El Paso through a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA. A QCD allows you to:

​

• Give directly from your IRA to our organization

• Avoid income taxes you would normally pay on IRA withdrawals

• Satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year

• Make a meaningful gift without affecting your monthly budget or cash flow

​

Bequests and Other Special Gifts

Talk with your financial or estate planning professional to find out how to plan a gift to benefit you and your family while creating a lasting legacy for children in need. This might include putting CASA of El Paso in your will, naming us as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan, or gifting real estate.
