A legacy gift, or planned gift, is a wonderful opportunity to support The Ohio CPA Foundation – and have a lasting impact on the profession – for years to come. A planned gift can also support your long-term financial goals by providing a tax deduction and a lifetime of annuity income, for example.

We invite you to explore the many options of planned giving and consider joining the 1956 Legacy Society by making a bequest or other planned gift to The Ohio CPA Foundation. Members of the 1956 Legacy Society not only play an important role in the Foundation’s future but also remain a part of its history.

When you make a memorial or tribute gift, we will acknowledge your contribution and notify the honoree (or designated individuals such as family members). Simply complete the Memorial and Tribute Gifts Form  and we will do the rest.

A gift of securities is one of the easiest and most tax-savvy ways to make a contribution to The Ohio CPA Foundation. Simply transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to The Ohio CPA Foundation.

Benefits:

You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.
Giving appreciated stock is often more beneficial than giving cash.
