Planned Giving

Ways to Give Giving to our cause can be done either directly or through a gift
model that can provide tax benefits and even income. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

Gift of Stock

Donating stocks to The Citizens Foundation is a powerful way to support the cause while offering meaningful benefits to the donor.

  • Avoid paying capital gains tax
  • Potentially receive a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of the shares
  • Help make a difference in providing quality education to underprivileged children in Pakistan
  • Stocks can be converted into funding that supports programs, services, and long-term sustainability
  • This type of giving can help create a win-win opportunity, allowing donors to maximize their impact while helping us further our mission efficiently.

Please reach out to us with any questions.

Gift Of IRA’S

Giving an IRA gift to The Citizens Foundation can be a highly beneficial way to support our mission while offering meaningful advantages to the donor. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, TCF-USA can receive IRA rollover gifts that:

  • Lower your taxable income — If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer up to a certain amount from your traditional IRA to TCF-USA without paying any federal income tax on that distribution.
  • Satisfy required minimum distributions (RMD’s).
  • Maximize the impact of your gift — because the funds go directly from your IRA to TCF-USA, more of your contribution is received to support the work of TCF.
  • Always consult your tax advisor or financial planner to align this strategy with your personal financial situation. For any questions, please reach out to us.

Gifts of Real Estate

You can give a gift of real estate to The Citizens Foundation-USA, in the form of a personal or vacation home, undeveloped land, or commercial property. This can be a tax-smart and impactful way to support TCF-USA while also benefiting you personally and in your broader financial planning.

  • When you give a real estate gift directly to a 501(c)(3) charity, like TCF-USA, you may be eligible for a federal income tax deduction based on the fair market value of the property at the time of the gift.
  • You may be able to avoid paying capital gains tax if the property is transferred directly to TCF-USA.
  • For TCF-USA, a real estate gift (once liquidated or otherwise used strategically) can provide meaningful resources to support its mission and programs in the long run.
  • Please inform TCF-USA if there are any concerns or challenges regarding the real estate to be gifted.
  • Please be sure to consult your tax or financial advisor to understand how a real estate gift fits your specific situation and IRS requirements.

Please reach out to us with any questions.

Gifts of Donor Advised Funds ( DAF’S)

Giving a gift from a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) to The Citizens Foundation-USA can be a highly effective and flexible way to support our mission while also aligning with your financial goals.

  • Simplified and strategic giving: You receive an immediate federal income tax deduction in the year you contribute to your DAF, even if you distribute the funds to charities later.
  • Tax-efficient donations of complex assets: You can contribute a broad range of assets like cash, appreciated stock, real estate, or other investments to your DAF.
  • Flexibility and timing: Once assets are in the DAF, you can recommend grants to TCF-USA whenever you choose.
  • Reliable funding flow to assist TCF-USA in planning and sustaining its programs.
  • Ensure that your philanthropic dollars support TCF-USA in a thoughtful and impactful way.
  • Please consult with your tax or financial advisor and contact us with any questions you may have.

This can have one box with my name, email address and phone number for them to contact. If you have a different idea, we can discuss.
