OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Donor Advised Funds
Donor-advised funds are charitable giving accounts, offered by a sponsoring organization, that are designed to be accessible, simple and less expensive alternatives to setting up a private foundation. Put your money in, let the sponsoring institution manage it, and then make a donation to the cause of your choice.
Donate cash, stocks or non-publicly traded assets such as private business interests, cryptocurrency and private company stock to be eligible for an immediate tax deduction. A contribution to a donor-advised fund is an irrevocable commitment to charity; the funds cannot be returned to the donor or any other individual or used for any purpose other than grantmaking to charities.
If you donate cash, via check or wire transfer, you’re generally eligible for an income tax deduction of up to 60 percent of your adjusted gross income.
Donating long-term appreciated securities directly to charity—instead of liquidating the asset and donating the proceeds—can help maximize both your tax benefit and the overall amount you have to grant to charity. These donations provide two tax benefits:
- Become eligible for an income tax deduction of the full fair-market value of the asset, up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income.
- Eliminate capital gains tax on long-term appreciated assets, as long as they’ve been held for more than a year.
For donors who like more control and involvement, a Donor Advised Fund through the TGFF Charitable Giving Fund is the answer. Backed by TGFF, the Fund offers a giving vehicle known as a Donor Advised Fund, a cost-effective alternative to a private foundation.
Donor Advised Funds create a charitable legacy that can be personalized according to your wishes without the cost and administration of a private foundation. You can name the fund after a loved one or yourself and choose multiple charities as beneficiaries. By investing your charitable gift alongside endowments, you will receive excellent stewardship of your assets. You can also create a culture of giving that involves a couple, family, corporation, or group working together.
To establish a Donor Advised Fund, make a minimum commitment of $100,000 payable over five years or through your estate, name the fund and successors to continue your legacy of giving, and decide each year what charities receive grants from your fund.
When you establish a Donor Advised Fund, you receive a tax receipt for your initial donation as well as those in the future. If you use appreciated securities to establish your fund, you are exempt from capital gains tax.
Wills and Charitable Bequest
Remembering TOPGUN Fighter Foundation in your will is an act that is generous, powerful, and surprisingly simple. It allows you to leave a larger gift than would be possible during your lifetime, while still retaining control of your assets.
You can leave a piece of property, securities, cash, or even a percentage of your estate. Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt that can lower or even eliminate estate taxes. You also have the opportunity to honor or memorialize yourself or a loved one by establishing a named endowment fund.
Leaving a gift to TGFF in your will is simple. Talk it over with your family and loved ones, then speak to your lawyer about drafting or revisiting your will or adding a codicil.
Be sure to inform us of your bequest and your wishes. It will give us the opportunity to thank you and, more importantly, to discuss what you hope your gift will help to accomplish. Of course, we will respect your privacy and confidentiality. Every gift in every will makes a difference.
Major Gift Donations
At TGFF we are grateful to our Major Gift donors and those who Pledge over a period of one to three years.

It is through the support of large donors and corporate sponsors that TOPGUN Fighter Foundation is able to continually push the boundaries of what’s possible in veteran awareness, making breakthroughs in research, learning and care.
Today, corporate social responsibility is no longer a nice-to-do. People want to know more about the companies with whom they do business.
