  • STOCK
    STOCK

    A charitable gift of appreciated stock can be advantageous for you and the LPS Foundation. As long as you’ve owned the stock for more than a year, you can donate shares directly to the LPS Foundation and may be able to avoid paying capital gains taxes. Win/win.

  • DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
    DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS

    A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account. It provides flexibility and convenience by allowing you to make a deductible contribution today and invest your contribution so it can potentially grow tax-free over time.

  • IRAs

    If you are 70 ½ or older, you can give to a nonprofit organization via a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, reducing your tax liability.
