Think Beyond Cash and Make an Even Greater Impact

Did you know you can support Hilltop Artists through estate planning, and gifts of appreciated assets, like stock or distributions from a donor advised fund (DAF)?

These types of non-cash donations may offer significant tax advantages while increasing the power of your philanthropy.

We partner with FreeWill to offer free estate planning and asset giving tools to our supporters, making it simple to create or update your will and include a legacy gift to Hilltop Artists. We also work closely with the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation to receive complex asset gifts—if you’re considering an asset donation, they can help make the process easy and secure.

Talk with your financial advisor or reach out to us directly to learn more about how your assets can help build a brighter future for youth in our community.

Stock Donations

When you donate stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account.

Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate. Meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to change you want to see.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals age 70½ or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.

Whether you want to make a QCD gift to Hilltop Artists today, request a tax acknowledgment letter for a gift already made, or just learn more about QCDs, we have resources for you.
