Ways to Give

The easiest way to give. An outright gift to the Community Foundation requires no extra steps on your part and makes an immediate impact. This donation can be made online above or sent via mail to Park City Community Foundation at PO Box 681499, Park City, UT. 84068.

Donating publicly traded stocks, bonds, or other securities may give you capital gains tax advantages by deducting the fair market value as a charitable contribution. For information about stock transfers, please contact Alexis Brown, Vice President of Development, at alexis@parkcitycf.org or 435-731-4303.

Personal residences, commercial property, and open space designated land are among the types of appreciated property we can accept. A qualified appraisal and other terms are required.

Transfer the title of a personal residence or farm to the Community Foundation while retaining personal use of the property for a specified term of years.

Sell property to the Community Foundation for an amount less than the property’s current fair market value. The excess of the value over the sales price is your contribution to the Community Foundation.

Use your Donor Advised Fund, or consider starting one with Park City Community Foundation, to receive tax benefits.

If you have a private foundation or other Donor Advised Fund and are concerned with succession planning or don’t have time to manage your foundation, you can transfer those assets to us. 

In larger estates, retirement fund assets distributed to family members may be subject to double taxation — first through the donor’s estate tax and then through beneficiaries’ income tax. Individual Retirement Plan (IRA) accounts listing the Community Foundation as the beneficiary generally will pass to your Community Foundation fund free of estate and income taxes. Keogh plans, 401(k), 403(b), and other qualified pension plans are also eligible. If you are 70.5 years of age or older, you can make a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA via several different fund options. 

Contribute an existing life insurance policy to the Community Foundation or establish a new one with the Community Foundation as beneficiary. By doing so, you may be eligible for an income tax deduction for the policy’s cost basis or cash surrender value (whichever is less), and any subsequent premium payments may qualify for a charitable deduction.

We can accept gifts of privately held stock, limited partnerships, and other closely-held business interests.

Make a simple bequest, a charitable remainder trust, or a charitable lead trust:

• Simple bequest: Make a bequest to the Community Foundation through your will or living trust. You may qualify for an estate tax deduction based on the value of the gift. You can state your bequest as a portion of your estate or as a set amount of cash, securities, or other assets.
• Charitable remainder trust: Transfer assets to a charitable remainder trust to provide an annual specified distribution to one or more beneficiaries for life or a term of years. The remainder interest creates or adds to your fund with the Community Foundation. 
• Charitable lead trust: Transfer assets to a charitable lead trust. The Community Foundation fund receives an income stream for a lifetime or term of years, after which the remaining assets are distributed to you or other beneficiaries.
