There are many ways you can support Metropolitan Family Service
- Cash —
Cash is the most common way of giving, because it's so simple. If you itemize, a gift of cash can
be deducted up to 50% of adjusted gross income.
- Honorarium and memorial gifts — You can make a gift in honor of a friend, client, family member, or even a
special event in someone's life, like a birthday, wedding or anniversary. You can make a gift in memory of a friend or family member.
- Appreciated stocks, bonds, life insurance, and real estate — When you give long-term appreciated assets, you receive
a double income tax benefit: deducting the present full market value of your give and avoiding capital gains tax on the assets appreciated.
- In-kind donations — Take a look around the house, and you're sure to find many ways to help others including old vehicles
(like a car, boat, or RV), new and used clothing and toys, holiday gifts for clients, gift certificates for food and clothing, and yard tools
(like clippers, loppers, pruner, or rake).
- Planned gifts — These can provide tax savings to you and your heirs. For more information, visit
