There are many other ways to give to Special Olympics Oregon. Here are some of the most common methods that donors choose. Your financial, tax or estate planner can help you choose the method that is right for you.

cash
Cash is the easiest way to contribute, whether by check, credit card or actual cash. Donors who make gifts of cash are eligible for a charitable deduction in the year the gift was made.

stocks
Publicly traded stocks owned for more than one year may be donated to Special Olympics Oregon as a charitable gift. Donors are eligible for a tax deduction for the fair market value of the appreciated stock. By donating appreciated stock to Special Olympics Oregon, you can avoid capital gains taxes that would otherwise occur at the sale of the stock.

bequests
A bequest is the most common form of planned giving. By including a charitable contribution in your will, you are able to make a gift that is simple, and in many cases, larger than you could make during your lifetime. The bequest can take the form of a specific item or a specific amount of money, or may serve as a “residual bequest,” where the remainder of your assets because a gift after all other specific bequests have been paid out. Gifts made to charity by bequest are deducted from the donor’s federal estate tax.
