Donations can be made online or you can make arrangements to donate in the form of a check or electronic funds transfers. You can reach us at (949) 263-8676. Other ways to donate:
Non-cash donations:
Please call Jamboree and ask for Sam Mistrano to make arrangements for non-cash donations.
Securities:
Individual stocks or mutual funds that have increased in value provide additional tax savings when given to charitable organizations. If you decide to give a security and you have held it for more than one year, you can deduct the full value for tax purposes, as well as avoid capital gains taxes at the time of the sale. The current deductible amount is 30 percent of adjusted gross income on qualified assets.
Legacy Gifts:
Many Jamboree supporters have begun long-range financial planning that takes into account how they can support Jamboree and Housing with HEART beyond their lifetimes and avoid estate and gift taxes for their families in the future. We want to encourage this act of stewardship and help you create a legacy of giving in your family. To begin, consider the following:
- Giving through a will or living trust. You may leave a percentage of "what's left," or a specific amount, after you have provided for your family.
- Retirement plan proceeds or life insurance beneficiary designations. These funds can be used in a way that can result in their not being subjected to gift, estate or income taxes.
- Gifts such as annuities that can retain income for you or others and provide tax savings at the same time.
We recommend you consult with professional advisors before selling or giving any securities to a charity, and always consult a tax advisor about current tax laws regarding charitable gifts. Jamboree does not render tax or legal advice for any purpose, but we are registered as a 501(c)3 organization with the IRS.
