Simplify your charitable giving, open a Charitable Checking account with the Warren County Foundation 

• Give to charities that you choose, when you choose
• Increase your tax benefits by timing deductions and giving appreciated assets
• Simplify your record keeping and tax reporting

Choice

You can choose how and when it is best for you to fund your Foundation account.  You also can choose when to make distributions from your account to charitable organizations – this year, next year, or a few years from now.  Also, you can choose to be recognized for your gift or to remain anonymous.

Tax Advantages

You are eligible for a charitable tax deduction in the year you make your contribution to your Foundation account.  This enables you to make your gift when it is most tax-wise for you.

When you use appreciated assets (stocks, mutual funds, or real estate) to fund your account, you gain the full value of the asset for charitable purposes undiminished by long-term capital gains taxes.

Simplified Record Keeping and Tax Reporting

The Foundation handles the distribution of funds to your charitable organizations, verifies their IRS status, and does the bookkeeping for you.  You receive regular updates on your account balance, along with a record of your deposits and charitable gifts.  The acknowledgment you receive from the Foundation for deposits made to your Charitable Checking account are the only ones you need for tax purposes.

Cost

There is no charge from the Foundation.  For every dollar put in to your account, you can donate a dollar to the charitable organizations of your choice.
