Other Ways to Give

A DAF is an investment account that allows you to support charitable organizations you care about. You can open a DAF with a financial institution or community foundation with a minimum contribution amount and receive an immediate tax deduction. Then, you recommend that grants be made to us from your DAF. Because this gift comes from funds you have already set aside for charitable giving, there is no impact on your spendable income.

Please contact Sharon Padua, Director of Major Gifts at Sharon@mlk-chf.org to learn more.

If you are age 70½ or older you can transfer up to $105,000 from your individual retirement account (IRA) directly to MLKCH—tax free. This popular gift option maximizes the benefit to you and our patients, families and community. Simply make the request to your IRA administrator and let us know in advance of your gift.

Information you may need is provided below:

Legal name: MLK Community Health Foundation
Mailing address: 1680 E. 120th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90059
Federal Tax ID number: 45-4433505

You can also create a planned gift with your IRA by naming MLK Community Health Foundation as a beneficiary. Please contact Sharon Padua, Director of Major Gifts at Sharon@mlk-chf.org to learn more.

Giving securities, stock and mutual funds is a tax-savvy way to improve the health of South LA. When you give stock, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to an income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer.

Please contact Sharon Padua, Director of Major Gifts at Sharon@mlk-chf.org to learn more.

Bequests, IRAs, life insurance policies, and charitable remainder trusts are examples of planned giving options. By making a planned gift to support MLKCH, you’ll join the Dream Society, a group of forward-thinking friends who help ensure the health and wellness of South LA for the next generation.

Support MLKCH through your existing estate plan, or create one at no cost through our partnership with FreeWill.

Please contact Sharon Padua, Director of Major Gifts at Sharon@mlk-chf.org to learn more.
