Gift of Stock

Donating long-term highly appreciated securities can provide you with significant tax benefits. When transferring stock directly to STXSO, you can claim an income tax deduction as well as escape capital gains tax.

IRA Charitable Rollover

If you are over the age of 70½, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account up to $100,000. A donation transferred directly from your IRA to a qualified charity like STXSO generally reduces your taxable income by 100% of the amount you transfer. When you turn 72, a QCD will count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).*

*In 2020, the CARES Act waived the requirement for minimum distributions.

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

Advise grants to Musical Bridges Around the World from your donor-advised fund during your lifetime and name STXSO as a beneficiary to receive all or a portion of the balance of your fund through your fund administrator. Check with your financial advisor about taking advantage of this benefit.
