EMPLOYER GIFT MATCHING enables your donation to be doubled, even tripled.

A simple process that involves completing a form from your personnel department and including it with your Intercambio donation form. Then we take care of the rest!

Check with your employer to find out if they have a matching gift program and about their policy on matching gifts. Many companies also match gifts from spouses and retired employees.

For more information, please contact Lee Shainis: lee@intercambio.org / 720-758-9201.

Steps for Employer Gift Matching:

• Complete the matching gift form from your employer using Intercambio’s Tax ID # 20-0078381
• Make check payable to Intercambio Uniting Communities and mail form and payment to:

Intercambio Uniting Communities
Attn: Lee Shainis
4735 Walnut Street Suite B

(If you’ve made a contribution to Intercambio and are within the time limit set by your company, you can send us the forms to ensure your contribution is matched.)

To make a Tribute online:

LEAVE A LEGACY – Name Intercambio as a beneficiary in your will

BEQUESTS
Bequests are fully deductible from estate taxes for the amount of a cash bequest or the market value of other assets donated. The gift may consist of a share of the estate or it can be outright or in a trust. You can make a bequest for a designated purpose, or it can be unrestricted.

To leave a gift in your will or trust, simply share this sentence with your attorney:  “I bequeath to Intercambio Uniting Communities, a non-profit corporation located in Boulder, Colorado, with Federal Tax ID # 20-0078381, the sum of _______; or _______% of my estate; or the following property _______; or the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate.”

TRUSTS
A trust is a planned gift that can be designed to benefit both you and Intercambio. Along with an immediate income tax charitable deduction, you can assure an income for yourself for life. After that, we are allowed to use the remaining funds for our programs. To know which vehicle would be best for you, we recommend that you consult with appropriate legal and financial counsel.

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE & ENDOWED FUNDS
Gifts of real estate, and endowed funds are accepted within the policies approved by Intercambio’s Board of Directors.

GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE
You can name Intercambio as a primary beneficiary of your life insurance policy or as a contingent beneficiary, should your primary beneficiary not survive you. After your lifetime, the benefits from your policy pass to Intercambio free of federal estate tax.

A gift of life insurance is a powerful option for younger donors who want to make a significant contribution, or for people whose estate won’t have substantial assets to distribute to non-family members.

Advantages of leaving a LEGACY

• Charitable bequests can significantly reduce and even eliminate estate taxes
• Uniting communities across cultures is a long-term process. Naming Intercambio as a beneficiary ensures that your resources support your vision of a better community for future generations

IN KIND GIFTS
We gratefully accepts in-kind donations of auction items year-round for classroom space, services and our major fundraisers: La Fiesta, Comedy for Cambio, and Volunteer Appreciation events. We do not have storage space to warehouse other items, but we would be pleased to hear of any potential in-kind gift to see if we can find an immediate home for it.

STOCK AND ASSET TRANSFERS can provide a tax-wise way to support our community and in some cases, avoid capital gains.
After Intercambio receives your form and the donation of securities is confirmed by our broker, we will issue an official acknowledgement letter to the donor. This letter will indicate the number and type of shares received and date the stock was converted into a gift (day when record ownership of stock was transferred to the Intercambio or the stock was unconditionally delivered to Intercambio Uniting Communities).

IRA QUALIFIED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS REINSTATED

If you are over the age of 70 1/2, you may qualify for a Tax-Free transfer of a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) up to $100,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to Intercambio. Many of our donors have taken advantage of this opportunity. (Read this article for more information.) Please contact your tax advisor for complete tax deduction rules.

If sending stock electronically, ask your broker to donate through Wells Fargo Advisors.
