Humanity, or Bicyclists of Nevada County.
With a parent accompanying them, teenagers

planting, food drives, or fundraisers.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT: Between ages
20-30, young adults making modest monthly donations that go a long way toward helping nonprofits cover daily and monthly expenses such
as the garbage bill and rent. Dylan recommends,
“Donate so it absolutely doesn’t hurt at all! That
way you'll never feel like you have to stop.”
ESTABLISHED CAREER: During the established career stage of life when larger giving is
possible, Dylan recommends consulting with an
estate planning attorney. “When you have appreciated assets such as land, a car, or a building and have capital gains considerations, it’s
beneficial to have a professional help with tax
planning to give you the biggest bang for your
buck.” It’s important to match your giving goals
and desires with a nonprofit’s work.
RETIRED: During retirement years, shifting
one’s donation strategy goes along with IRA
distributions and pension income. Charitable
Remainder Trusts and Donor Advised Funds
managed by Fidelity, Schwab, or Edward
Jones are tools that can be used.
LEGACY: Legacy gifts take the form of
funds or assets that are donated from an
estate. Dylan says, “If you’ve been a regular
and generous donor throughout your lifetime,
you can continue to give the gift of stability
to your favorite organizations. By providing
donations that continue for 3-5 years after
death, it gives them time to plan for when
that income stream stops.”

says, “It’s planning for a gift in the future to
your favorite nonprofit.” Ketcham explains
how living trusts, accelerated gifting, expendable fund distribution, and donor-advised
funds® work. He includes samples of the Best
