Transfer Stock, IRAs, or Other Assets

Appreciated securities and mutual fund holdings may provide an advantage for your charitable giving. Our stock transfer guidelines will ensure a smooth transaction.

The IRA charitable rollover allows taxpayers aged 70½ or older to make tax-free charitable gifts of up to $100,000 per year directly from their individual retirement accounts to eligible charities such as That Man May See.

Another tax-wise strategy is to name That Man May See as beneficiary of all or a portion of your IRA assets. By naming That Man May See as beneficiary of your IRA, you can leave a legacy free of all income and estate taxes because it supports a charitable organization.
Contact us to discuss transfer of other assets.

That Man May See relies on generous support to sustain its educational programs, research funding, and excellence in patient care for the Department of Ophthalmology and the Francis I. Proctor Foundation at the University of California, San Francisco. Thank you for considering a gift of stock.
