More ways to give
Give Through Appreciated Stock (or Securities)
A gift of appreciated stock is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to support United Way. When you donate stock directly, you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value and receive an additional charitable deduction that reduces your taxable income.
This means you can give more — and pay less taxes — while fueling programs that provide food for families, housing stability, access to health care, and early learning opportunities for kids across the Treasure Valley. You can donate stocks directly to United Way of Treasure Valley by initiating the transfer from your financial institution using the below information: Brokerage Account Transfer Instructions: Account Title: United Way of Treasure Valley Account Number: 7496-5515 DTC: 0164 Brokerage Firm: Charles Schwab & Co. Advisor Contact: Figure 8 Investments — 208-385-0078 To ensure we can properly acknowledge your gift, please notify our Director of Finance, Mark Nail — mnail@unitedwaytv.org | 208-807-2933 United Way of Treasure Valley Tax ID: 82-0299013
Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Retirement Account
If you’re age 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to United Way of Treasure Valley. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) — and it’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Your IRA administrator will send the gift directly to United Way (usually by check), so it counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) but does not count as taxable income for you. It’s a simple way to make a meaningful gift while lowering your taxes. To make a QCD, contact your IRA custodian and request that your gift be sent directly to: United Way of Treasure Valley P.O. Box 16330 Boise, ID 83715 Tax ID: 82-0299013 To ensure we can properly acknowledge your gift, please notify our Director of Finance, Mark Nail — mnail@unitedwaytv.org | 208-807-2933 United Way of Treasure Valley Tax ID: 82-0299013
Recommend a Grant Through Your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can easily recommend a grant to United Way of Treasure Valley through your fund. It’s one of the most flexible and tax-smart ways to give.
You can recommend a grant from your DAF directly through the donation form at the top of this page. Simply enter the amount you’d like to give, continue through the transaction, and select DAFpay as your payment method. DAFpay will then connect you with your sponsoring organization to complete your gift.
When you contribute to your Donor Advised Fund, you receive an immediate charitable deduction. Your balance grows tax-free until you’re ready to recommend a grant to United Way. This allows you to plan your giving, support multiple causes, and make a larger impact over time.
You may also work directly with your fund manager, such as Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, or your local community foundation, to send your gift to:
United Way of Treasure Valley
P.O. Box 16330

Give Cryptocurrency
Donating cryptocurrency is another tax-smart way to make a difference. Because the IRS treats crypto as property, when you donate appreciated cryptocurrency directly to United Way, you can avoid capital gains tax and take a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your gift. United Way partners with FreeWill to make crypto giving easy and secure. When you donate cryptocurrency through FreeWill, it is immediately converted to cash, so your gift can be put to work right away in United Way programs. We do not hold cryptocurrency assets. To explore this option, go to FreeWill and choose United Way of Treasure Valley as the beneficiary of your cryptocurrency gift. Questions?
