Matching Gift
Many employers participate in matching gift programs, doubling or tripling charitable contributions made by their employees.

Contributing appreciated stock is a popular way to give, reducing current income tax and capital gains. Please indicate your intention to transfer stock via our Securities Transfer Notification Form.
IRA Gift
Donors 70½ years old or older can transfer up to $100,000 tax-free from an IRA directly to the MVFund. These gifts can satisfy the donor’s annual minimum distribution. Please leverage our IRA letter template prepopulated with Mount Vernon’s tax ID and information.
