Retirement Assets
You can designate all or a certain percentage of your retirement assets to Boston Partners in Education. Distributions from certain kinds of retirement assets—such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs), tax-sheltered annuities, and 401(k) and 403(b) plans—may be subject to income tax and may be subject to generation-skipping taxes and estate taxes. However, gifts of these assets will not be taxed if they are paid directly to a charity as beneficiary. Consult with a professional advisor to determine how your retirement asset distributions will be affected by naming Boston Partners in Education as a beneficiary. For more information, contact Sara Gill.
Gift of Appreciated Securities
A great way to make a gift to Boston Partners in Education is through the transfer of appreciated publicly traded securities held for over one year. Upon transfer, you are entitled to a federal income tax deduction for the market value of the securities. In addition, neither you nor Boston Partners are subject to long term capital gains tax realized upon the transfer of the stock. Consult with a professional advisor first, then, when you’re ready to make your gift, you can donate stock directly through our secure page on DonateStock, or complete BPIE’s Gift of Appreciated Securities form and contact Sara Gill with any further questions.
