More ways to give back to Belvedere

Appreciated stock/securities gifts
Your broker may transfer shares to BCF via electronic transfer. The capital gain on appreciated shares gifted rather than sold may not be subject to capital gains tax but this is worth confirming with your advisor. To set this up, email the BCF Treasurer with subject line "Donations" to request account and routing information for the transfer.

Legacy/estate gifts (trusts, bequests, etc.)
BCF accepts legacy gifts of specific securities, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate. You can also designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to go to BCF, and it's possible to leave a residual or contingent gift (i.e. what's left after other bequests, or a gift contingent on certain conditions).

Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA
If you are 70½ or older, in 2026 you can donate up to $111,000 directly from an IRA to BCF. This limit will increase in subsequent years. These transfers to BCF count toward your required minimum IRA distributions for the year and are not included in your taxable income, unlike a regular IRA withdrawal.
