Gifts of Stock or Securities

When you donate securities, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor CHA will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Contact Director Sarah Driever at (651-220-6185)  or sarah.driever@childrensmn.org for additional information on giving a gift of closely held stock.
2. Seek the advice of your financial or legal advisor.
3. If you include CHA in your plans, please use our legal name, address and federal tax ID.

Legal name: Children's Hospital Association, Inc.
Address: 345 Smith Avenue North

Garden View Tower, Suite 600A

St. Paul, MN 55102
Federal tax ID number: 41-0722605

Real Estate

While donating real estate is easier than you might think, a financial advisor may give you personalized guidance for your tax situation. For property worth $5,000 or less, you simply need a receipt from the charity and you must complete Section A of Form 8283 and attach it to your tax return. For property worth more than $5,000, in addition to the receipt, you must also have CHA complete Section B of Form 8283. Additionally, you'll need to get a qualified appraisal to deduct the property's value from your taxes. In most instances, CHA will sell the property and the proceeds will go to CHA-funded programs at Children's Minnesota.

Give through a Donor Advised Fund

When you commit funds to a donor-advised fund, you can take an immediate tax deduction. Your balance can grow tax-free. This means that you can make an even bigger impact with your giving over time without having to worry about capital gains tax.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Choose the amount you wish to grant

2. Provide your contact information so that we can ensure your donation is used as intended

3. Use your log-in credentials to connect to your Donor-Advised Fund account and submit

Links to:

• Fidelity Charitable
• Schwab Charitable
• Vanguard Charitable
• National Philanthropic Trust
• American Endowment Foundation

What happens next

Your Donor-Advised Fund provider will receive the grant request and send you a confirmation email. Once the request has been approved, the funds will be sent directly to us.

Give from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) through a Qualified Charitable Distribution.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for those 70 ½ or older to donate from their IRA, while also counting towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Provide your contact information, this helps identify your gift for tax purposes

2. Add your donation details, including financial institution and gift amount

3. Download, complete, and submit your forms using the instructions provided

What happens next

Once the financial institution receives your forms, the funds are transferred to us in about 5-10 business days.
