Best Charitable Gifts to Make
With the introduction of tax reform in 2018, you may be looking at your finances and wondering how you can continue to be charitable. There are many ways you can make a difference at CADV while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.
Here are some smart ways to give:
- Donate appreciated stock: with the stock market at or near all-time highs, give your appreciated stocks to a nonprofit like CADV and eliminate capital gains tax.
- Name us as a beneficiary of retirement plan assets: These assets remain taxable when distributed to a loved one but are tax-free when given to a nonprofit.
- Give from your IRA (if age 70.5 or older): Regardless of whether you itemize your taxes, this gift helps you fulfill your required minimum distribution and is not considered taxable income.
- Gifts of real estate: Many real estate markets are enjoying gains. Appreciated real estate may be subject to capital gains tax unless donated to charity or transferred to a charitable trust.
- Consider utilizing our 70% tax credits for any monetary donation over $100.
Talk with your Tax Professional: Please consult with your tax or financial advisors to determine the best charitable giving strategies for you.
While donations of goods are very much appreciated, our limited storage space makes overcrowding of supplies an issue. However, gift cards to places which offer supplies (Walmart, Gerbes, Sav A Lot, Dollar General), are always helpful-or you could consider small but regular monetary donation to cover ongoing supplies.

Volunteer Your Time
Volunteers are the backbone of CADV. Our volunteers are extraordinary people who give much of their time and energy so that CADV can run smoothly. These people are as important to the operating of the center as the Board and Staff. We appreciate all they do for us and for those whom we provide services to.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, the following are some positions available and brief descriptions. Each requires agency training and criminal background check before beginning.

We see a growing number of victims in our community that speak little or no English. We are in need of volunteers who are fluent in foreign languages such as Spanish, Russian and others to translate so that victims may also receive the same high-quality crisis services that English speaking victims receive.
