DONATION OF CASH OR CHECK

TAX CREDITS:

Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center meets the AZ. Department of Revenue criteria to qualify as a charity for this program. A tax credit of up to $200 is available to taxpayers making voluntary cash contributions to a qualifying charity. A baseline tax year must be established.

IN KIND:

Gifts such as household items, furniture, clothing, appliances, or vehicles can be put to excellent use.

APPRECIATED PROPERTY:

Gifts of appreciated property such as real estate or stocks are attractive to many people. Such gifts can be deductible for income tax purposes at their full, market value. Capital gains tax on the appreciation can be avoided.

LIFE INSURANCE:

Gifts of paid-up life insurance policies (especially after the need for insurance is gone) are a wonderful way to make a meaningful contribution while at the same time generating an attractive tax deduction.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS:

Charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities can provide income to the donor for life, generate a substantial income tax deduction and avoid the capital gains tax if appreciated property is used to make the gift.

BEQUESTS:

Many of our friends would like to support us, but must rely on the income produced from their assets during their lives. Gifts made by bequests through the estate planning process are favored by many.

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY:

The charitable gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence, vacation home or farm, is a great way to create a group home facility while also generating substantial tax benefits.

Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center is a private,
non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable organization. We are qualified to receive gifts for which an income tax deduction is allowable.
