The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Bates College.

A donor-advised fund can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Might a donor-advised fund be right for you? Here’s how it works.

Make a substantial gift to Bates College in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.

Donate your home, farm or a second home to Bates and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes.

Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Bates College by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
