Ways to Give

At MILTON, we’re grateful to work each day to build robust Jewish life and learning in our nation’s capital. This growth is fueled by philanthropy. We invite you to make MILTON a giving priority and help grow the next generation of Jewish leaders.

Donor Advised Funds

Giving through a DAF is an easy way to make MILTON a regular part of your wider philanthropy and streamline your charitable donations.

MILTON’s Tax ID (EIN number) is: 52-2115715.

Stocks

Donating via stocks or other marketable securities can be a strategic giving vehicle. By doing so, you can avoid capital gains taxes on appreciations, and claim a deduction for the full, fair market value. This method could save you significantly more compared to cash donations, especially if your assets have grown substantially. Call Adena at (771) 772-3949 to discuss or CLICK HERE to see full stock donation instructions.

Please note that the submittal of stock donations often does not come with a donor name attached so it’s essential that you notify MILTON of your gift in order to receive your receipt and acknowledgement of your gift.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts offer opportunities to combine your charitable interest in the work of MILTON with estate planning options that often feature favorable tax treatment.

These types of gifts can include:

Bequests in a will or living trust and beneficiary designations in a retirement account provide the opportunity to make a significant commitment now, while postponing any out-of-pocket expenditure until after your lifetime.
Charitable gift annuities (at $10,000 or more for donors ages 55+) and charitable trusts (at $100,000 or more) enable you to turn a low-yielding asset into a higher-yielding stream of income, while also making a philanthropic gift and receiving an immediate tax deduction.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

If you are 70 ½ or older, a QCD may be a tax-wise way to support MILTON’s work. For those 73 or older, this can count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

Matching Gifts

Many employers offer a matching gift program through platforms like Benevity. If your employer offers this, your impact could be multiplied to MILTON! Additionally, if you own a business, gifts can be made in the name of your business.

Cash Gifts

Making a gift by credit card or check is a great option for all.
