Ways to Donate
The SCORE Foundation can receive your contribution through a variety of means. Each method has its own tax benefits or consequences depending on your circumstances. We recommend that you consult with your attorney, CPA and financial planner to discuss your particular plans in advance.
Gifts of Stock
Your broker should contact us first to request the necessary documents and information needed for the stock transfer. The SCORE Foundation will furnish you with the value of your gift upon receipt of the stock as well as an acknowledgment and receipt.
Wills and Bequests
Some people believe that giving to charitable institutions through their will is only for the extremely wealthy. However, for every large, well-publicized charitable bequest, there are countless smaller ones arranged by people of all means, in all walks of life. Giving through your will can be an easy way to continue to support entrepreneurs and their small businesses after your passing.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Some people have chosen to name the SCORE Foundation as a remainder of such a trust. You and/or other beneficiaries receive income from this trust for a term of years or until your passing. When the trust terminates, The SCORE Foundation receives the balance of it.
A Charitable Lead Trust
This gift that makes annual contributions to The SCORE Foundation for a term of years. The property then passes to your heirs with substantial tax savings. You can safeguard your estate for your heirs while you support the work of SCORE.
Life Insurance
The SCORE Foundation may be named as the owner and/or beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy.
Real Estate
Under certain circumstances, The SCORE Foundation can accept real property as a donation. Contact us to discuss your plans.
Small business owners face different challenges at each stage of their company’s growth. My donation helps to keep important SCORE services available at no cost to entrepreneurs, assisting them to navigate around those obstacles especially in the areas of finance and access to capital.
