A gift today helps children when they need it most.

Ways to Give

  • Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

    A gift from your donor-advised fund is a simple, flexible, tax-advantageous way to support the children in our care.

    Investing in a Giving Account through your financial institution or Community Foundation can generate interest, potentially increasing your donation and contributions made to Southmountain from your account are eligible for an immediate tax deduction!

    This is a simple, flexible, tax-advantageous way to support the children in our care!

  • Gifts of Stock & IRAs

    Donate a gift of stock and receive a tax deduction for the full market value. A gift of stock can provide benefits for the giver, particularly if the stock has appreciated in value since the giver can avoid paying taxes on those earnings or gains.

    Also known as qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), IRA charitable distributions or IRA charitable rollovers are otherwise taxable distributions from a qualified IRA owned by an individual age 70½ or over that is paid directly from the IRA to Southmountain.

    This contribution can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution from your IRA.

  • Legacy Gifts

    Create a lasting legacy and symbolize your commitment to protecting and caring for children in North Carolina through a planned gift of cash, equity or property. This thoughtful contribution can be in the form or a bequest (cash, personal property, tangible assets or a residuary gift), charitable gift annuity or a trust received by Southmontain in the future.
