Donor Advised Fund
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies SAHC of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
Give from my DAF

Charitable IRA giving
Qualified charitable distributions for donors 70½+
You can give to SAHC, making a permanent impact on conservation in East TN and Western NC, directly from your IRA!
Donors age 70 ½ or older to donate up to $108,000 from their IRA as an individual or $216,000 as a couple without having to recognize the distribution as income.
We advise that before taking any actions you should consult with a qualified tax advisor, but if you’re receiving taxable income from retirement plan assets there are a number of tax-advantaged ways to make these assets work for you and qualified nonprofits like SAHC.
Here’s an example: If your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is $20,000 and you give a $5,000 Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to SAHC only $15,000 of the IRA distribution will be reported as part of your income.

Gift of stock
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset.
Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify SAHC of your gift.
Please contact Director of Development Anna Kuhlman at 828-367-7312 if you need assistance or have questions.
