United Way Designation

As a member agency of United Way, you can designate CONTACT We Care as the recipient of your United Way contribution.

Gifts of Stock

Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to CONTACT We Care. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock. Please call for more details: (908) 301-1899.

Planned Gifts

You can provide for CONTACT We Care in a variety of ways, including through your estate. Planned or deferred gifts enable CONTACT to plan for the future because they will be realized at some later date. You can make a planned gift by naming CONTACT as a beneficiary in your Will or by naming CONTACT as owner and beneficiary of a paid-up life insurance policy. A gift of life insurance entitles you to a tax deduction equal to your cost basis in the policy or its replacement cost, whichever is less.

You can make a planned gift to CONTACT We Care and receive an income for life through the establishment of a charitable trust that names CONTACT as a beneficiary. Your attorney can advise you of the various types of charitable trusts and the estate tax benefits of each, and assist you in setting up a planned gift that is tailored to your personal needs. You may also want to talk with your attorney or financial advisor about the tax benefits of naming CONTACT as a beneficiary of your retirement plan. Please call for more details: (908) 301-1899.

Matching Gifts

Increase your donation with employer matching funds. Many employers will match your personal donation. Check with your company for more information on matching gift programs. Employer matching gifts may also be available to you if you are the spouse of an employee, a retired employee or the spouse/widow/widower of a retiree.
