Other Ways to Contribute
The Foundation advancement staff can assist you in determining what kind of gift might be right for you. Some options for giving to the CDC Foundation include:
Planned Gifts: Planned gifts include a variety of gifts with special tax advantages, including gifts through your estate (bequests).
Gifts of Securities: Gifts of appreciated assets may be made outright or paid in installments. Outright gifts of appreciated securities entitle you to an income-tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities. If you have held the appreciated assets for more than one year, you do not have to pay capital gains tax, which you would have to pay if you sold the asset.
In-Kind Gifts: A variety of opportunities exist for in-kind donations to the CDC Foundation. In the past, in-kind gifts have included equipment for CDC’s Marcus Emergency Operations Center and travel vouchers.
Memorial/Honor Gifts: If you wish to remember a friend or loved one who has passed away, consider a memorial gift to the CDC Foundation. Or if you wish to honor a colleague, friend or family member, you can make a tribute gift to the Foundation in that person’s name.
Matching Gifts: You can double, or in some cases triple, your gift to the CDC Foundation by matching it through your employer or your spouse’s employer. Check with your personnel department to see if your company has a matching gift program.
Special Gifts from Federal Employees: Federal employees can contribute to the CDC Foundation through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Conducted by the federal government each fall, the CFC offers federal employees a way to easily and conveniently make a contribution to the charity of their choice. Each year, hundreds of federal employees support the CDC Foundation through the CFC. The CDC Foundation is included in the CFC national listing as number 10141, the National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
