Charity Navigator

Hi Peter — This December, millions of donors across America will use Charity Navigator to inform their giving. Will you be adding Charity Navigator to your Giving Equation? Check out our top 5 ways to give with confidence this holiday season.

1. Use the Charity Navigator Giving Basket. Get all of your giving done in one, convenient checkout.
   • Protect your giving–we won’t allow any donations to fake charities.
   • Cut the clutter–choose what contact information you share with each charity.
   • Donate in honor of a loved one–express your generosity for the holidays.
2. Give appreciated stock or mutual funds. Start today to save on capital gains tax and receive a federal income tax deduction before the end of the year.
3. Distribute funds straight from your IRA. Required Minimum Distributions are back in action in 2021, and Qualified Charitable Contributions are always an option–so make sure you designate those gifts before December 15 to ensure they arrive this year!
4. Donate your Cryptocurrency. Just like stocks, you can save on capital gains tax and give more to charities of your choice.
5. Support Charity Navigator directly. Elevate the entire nonprofit sector with a gift to Charity Navigator and help us expand our free-to-use ratings and resources.

If you’d like to learn more about how to add Charity Navigator to your Giving Equation, join our free webinar this Wednesday, December 15 at 2pm EST, 5 Ways to Make Your Giving Informed and Impactful this Holiday Season.

With these resources in mind, you’ll assuredly be giving with both your heart and your head this holiday season!

With warm regards,
The Charity Navigator Team
