A Tax-Savvy Way to Benefit from Growing Assets
Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are popular assets to use when making a gift to the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Making a gift of securities or mutual funds offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.
When you donate appreciated securities or mutual funds in support of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.
Securities are most often used to support our work in the form of:
An outright gift. When you donate securities to the Kravis Center, you receive the same income tax savings that you would if you wrote a check, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains taxes on the transfer, which can be as high as 20%.
A transfer on death (TOD) account.* By placing a TOD designation on your brokerage or investment account, that account will be paid to one or more persons or charities after your lifetime.
*State laws govern transfer on death accounts. Please consult with your bank representative or investment advisor if you are considering this gift.

You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $108,000) this year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $108,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
Simplify Your Giving

You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.
You can also create a lasting legacy by naming the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
