Popular tax-smart gifts
Many COPD Foundation donors are choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a greater impact while receiving a tax advantage.
Explore tax-smart gift options
Learn about gifts that maximize the impact of your support while providing tax benefits for you!
Stocks and securities
When you give a gift of stocks or other securities, you make an impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. An additional benefit: neither you nor the COPD Foundation will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.
Donor Advised Funds
Support the COPD Foundation by making a grant from your existing Donor Advised Fund to help improve the lives of those living with COPD.
Cryptocurrency
Donating cryptocurrency directly is a fast and secure way to make a tax-smart charitable contribution. Giving appreciated crypto assets helps you avoid paying capital gains taxes, and can give you an income tax deduction for the full value of the gift.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
A special tax-saving gift opportunity for individuals 70 ½ and older, that makes an impact on our mission today and into the future.
Planned giving helps fuel COPD Foundation’s mission
A gift to the COPD Foundation accelerates our work today and creates a better future for those living with chronic lung disease.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
