Other Ways of Giving
A Christ-centered financial plan helps you wisely steward what the Lord has entrusted to you. When you include Safe Harbor in those plans, you are providing shelter, food and eternal hope to the women and children who need it most. After you have provided for your loved ones, please prayerfully consider sharing the blessings of your legacy with our life-changing ministry.
Stock
Gifts
The easiest method for transferring stock to Safe Harbor is to have your broker do it electronically. Just supply this information to your broker:
• Raymond James DTC Number: 0725
• Account Name:
Safe Harbor of NC, Inc.
• Account Number: 21294294
• Raymond James Contact: (828) 464-5620
We often do not receive the donor’s name through the DTC system, so please contact us to let us know that you have made a stock gift so that you can be properly receipted for it.
IRA
Distributions
If you are 70½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 annually from your IRA as a tax-free rollover gift. These gifts count toward your minimum required distribution, but do not increase your income. You may also name Safe Harbor as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, avoiding significant tax upon death
Safe Harbor of NC Endowment
The primary purpose of an endowment is to build a reserve that will create financial stability for our organization. That stable source of funding is critically important during tough financial times so that fluctuations in donations don’t require cuts in programs, services, or staff. An endowment also sends a positive message to the community and to donors that we are a strong organization worthy of their investment. We have served the community well for over 12 years without relying on government or United Way funding, and we believe this endowment is proof of our long-term sustainability.
An endowment provides an opportunity for donors to make a gift that lives in perpetuity, changing the lives of people in future generations. A gift to the Safe Harbor of NC Endowment guarantees that your love and support of women and children on the brink of poverty, addiction recovery for men and women, and women at risk for human trafficking will go on forever.
Charitable
Bequest
Creating a will that includes a charity leaves a legacy of eternal significance and gives God the praise for a lifetime of provision.
Marketable
Securities
Transferring securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds that have been held for more than one year can be a wise giving option. These type gifts are deductible at the full market value of the security and avoid the impact of capital gain taxes.
