  • Gifts of Appreciated Securities

    Gifts of appreciated securities in the form of stock are accepted by IVO as capital, legacy or endowment gifts. The donor must initiate the transfer of securities either electronically or make arrangements for physical delivery with the transferor's endorsement or signed stock power (with appropriate signature guarantees) attached. Contact us to discuss donating appreciated securities.

  • Gifts of Tangible Personal Property (Gifts-In-Kind)

    Gifts of tangible personal property (other than securities) may be accepted by IVO, subject to approval by the Board, provided that they meet the approved needs of IVO and do not place an undue burden on IVO to maintain. Contact us to discuss making a tangible gift of personal property.

  • Planned Gifts

    Donors are encouraged to make bequests to IVO under their wills, and to name IVO as the beneficiary under trusts, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and retirement plans. Many planned gifts are designated to be given all or in part upon the donor’s passing. Donors who make such a gift are encouraged to contact IVO so that they can discuss the terms ahead of the effective date of the gift and to reassure the donor that his/her wishes will be fulfilled.

  • Donor-Advised Fund Account

    Contact your financial firm and ask about donor-advised fund account. A donor-advised fund (DAF) account allows investors to contribute cash or appreciated assets to a charitable account to realize the greatest possible tax benefits.

 *You should discuss your gifting strategy with your tax professional prior to making the gift so that you are certain of the benefits in your particular situation. Donations to IVO are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law.
