Supporting Heartspring

IRAs, Stocks & Real Estate

Use smart, tax-efficient giving strategies to support Heartspring’s mission and help reimagine neurodevelopmental care for children.

Make Your Gift

Smart Giving, Meaningful Impact

Gifts of stock, IRA distributions, or real estate can offer meaningful tax benefits — while helping transform care and education for neurodiverse children.

What Is Non-Cash Giving?

Donating assets like stocks, IRA distributions, or real estate is a strategic way to support Heartspring’s long-term work. These types of gifts often allow you to give more than you could with cash, while reducing capital gains or income taxes.

Common non-cash gifts include:

  • Gifts of appreciated stock or securities

  • Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs

  • Gifts of land, property, or other real estate assets

  • Business or estate-related assets donated as part of tax planning

How It Works & Who It's For

Non-cash giving is ideal for donors who want to make a high-impact gift while maximizing tax efficiency. Whether you’re retired, managing appreciated investments, or handling estate planning, these giving methods offer a way to align financial stewardship with long-term purpose. Your financial advisor can help you determine the best approach for you.

You might consider this approach if:

  • You’re age 70½ or older and want to give directly from your IRA without increasing taxable income

  • You own appreciated stock and want to avoid capital gains tax

  • You’re managing a property or land asset you no longer need

  • You want to support mission-driven work in a more efficient and impactful way

Non-cash gifts have helped Heartspring invest in key infrastructure, expand clinical programs, and meet urgent needs, while giving donors an efficient way to support change. These gifts provide a  foundation for innovation, allowing us to build with confidence and serve with impact.
