If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts. Simply click here to get started.

Give from Your IRA

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 the Foundation of your gift.

Donate Your Stocks

DAFs are the fastest growing giving method and tax-efficient way to manage charitable donations. DAFs allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation of your intentions. Using this link 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.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Please consider leaving your legacy for the animals by making a planned gift to the Foundation.
