Donor Benefits

Tax Benefits

When making a charitable gift, it makes sense to consider the tax benefits associated with various giving options.

The most common contribution is a gift of cash. The Nisei Veterans Memorial Center is a 501(c)(3) organization as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service so your contributions are tax deductible as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

But there are other options you might consider. For example, if you make a gift of appreciated securities to the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center, you will avoid federal capital gains tax for the full amount of your donation, and qualify to receive an immediate federal charitable income tax deduction on these securities.

We've provided specific tax benefits of each type of giving in our section How to Give, and we also urge you to speak to your tax advisor to discuss the most advantageous form of giving for you.
