Giving Options for Your Clients

Whether your client wants to make a gift now or a planned gift later, the PACF offers flexibility in fulfilling their charitable goals while addressing their unique financial circumstances.

Below are a few common types of gifts the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation can accept. We also accept other complex gifts that many organizations cannot and welcome a discussion to learn more about your client's goals.

CASH

Gifts via cash, check, or credit card are accepted.  More

STOCKS AND BONDS

Donating appreciated securities is an easy and tax-effective gift.  More

REAL ESTATE

The gift will generally be based on the property's fair market value, which must be established by an independent appraisal, with the gift transaction subject to the PACF's Gift Acceptance Policy.  More

INSURANCE

If your client has a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider gifting it to the PACF.  More

RETIREMENT ASSETS

Your clients can gift unused retirement assets to help benefit our community.  If they're 70.5 years or older, they can use the IRA Charitable Rollover.   More

CHARITABLE BEQUEST

  Including the PACF in estate plans will ensure their favorite causes are taken care of long after they are gone.  More

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

You can designate the PACF or a named fund as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment, or bank account or your client's life insurance policy.  More

CONVERT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION OR TRUST

Allow the PACF to manage all the administrative details while your client focuses more on the grantmaking.  We are a tax-friendly alternative with the expertise in community giving.

OIL, GAS, AND MINERAL RIGHTS

While varying degrees of ownership make these gifts more complex, there are a wide variety of ways to make gifts of mineral interests for charitable purposes.
