Stock acquired through incentive stock options is contributed to a DAF, reducing capital gain taxes and fulfilling charitable intent.

Donors use a charitable gift annuity ("CGA") to triple their retirement cash flow, receive a current income tax charitable deduction, spread out capital gain over several years, and make a gift to a college.

A donor funds a CRAT with appreciated stock to achieve an increased cash flow, defer capital gains taxes, diversify her assets, and obtain an income tax deduction. In addition, she is able to remove the stock from her gross estate for Federal estate tax purposes and make a substantial gift to charity.

By gradually transferring highly appreciated stock to a SCRUT, with the remainder passing to a DAF, a taxpayer is able to increase his lifetime cash flow, defer capital gains tax, receive an income tax deduction, make gifts to charities, and remove the stock from his estate.

By gifting qualified replacement property ("QRP") to a charity in exchange for a CGA, a donor is able to further defer capital gain taxes, increase her lifetime cash flow, create an income tax charitable deduction, and remove the QRP from her gross estate.

By transferring highly appreciated stock to a standard charitable remainder unitrust, which makes distributions to a donor advised fund, taxpayers are able to defer capital gains tax, make gifts to charities, increase their lifetime cash flow, and provide for their children.

Contributing QRP to a DAF can avoid capital gain taxes.
