Legacy Gifts
Planned gifts are charitable contributions which can result in tax and financial benefits to you the donor. Learn the ways in which you can make a gift to Ambleside Colorado that can help you minimize estate taxes or enable you to pass assets to your heirs at reduced transfer costs.
IRA Distributions
After age 70 ½, leveraging your IRA’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for a charitable gift with a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a great way to lower your adjusted gross income (AGI) and a great way to benefit Ambleside Colorado.
Non-Cash Giving
Ambleside Colorado is able to accommodate gifts of many types of assets. You transfer part or all of your asset before the sale, thereby potentially reducing or eliminating capital gains taxes, and then the asset is liquidated at the right time. The net proceeds go to your Giving Fund, which you can use to send your gift to Ambleside Colorado.
Vehicle Donation
You can donate all vehicles — cars, trucks, vans, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, tractors, boats and trailers — running or not running.
Through our local partner, we work hard to ensure that the maximum funds are raised from your vehicle donation, so that your contribution makes the most impact for Ambleside Colorado. Keep in mind, as an added benefit to you, your contribution may be eligible for a charitable tax deduction.
Prayer
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.” We at Ambleside Colorado understand our work to be a participation in the continuing ministry of Jesus. As such, we are dependent upon God to lead, empower and make fruitful this ministry. Our job is to be faithful laborers; His to make fruitful. While the effects of prayer are a mystery, we are confident that prayer accomplishes much. Thus, we are dependent upon the prayers of the Ambleside Colorado community. Matters for prayer include:
The wise and effectual work of our staff. We have a dedicated team who give themselves selflessly for a worthy work. There is always more to do than can be done.
Direction, financial provision and added coworkers as we seek continued increase in the resources it provides and the communities it reaches.
Wisdom and discernment for our leadership as we guide the organization.

Legacy Gifts
Planned gifts are charitable contributions which can result in tax and financial benefits to you the donor. Outlined below are ways in which you can make a gift to Ambleside that can help you minimize estate taxes or enable you to pass assets to your heirs at reduced transfer costs.
Retirement Plans
You may not be aware that if you name your children as the ultimate beneficiaries of your I.R.A. or Qualified Retirement Plan(s), they may only receive one-third of the total assets. By gifting all or a portion of your retirement plan(s) to a charitable organization, the full value is generally passed to the charity and may ultimately make a greater impact. The amount received by a charitable organization will be fully deductible from your estate.
Bequests
A Bequest made during your lifetime is the most common method of planned giving and enables you to distribute assets to individuals and charitable organizations in the amounts or proportions you indicate. An estate gift also provides the opportunity to make a major gift while preserving assets during a lifetime, with a reduction in federal estate taxes.
Life Insurance
A gift of Life Insurance is a simple way to make a legacy gift. You may name a charity as the beneficiary of all or a portion of a life insurance policy. A charity can also be named as the alternate or final beneficiary. At your death, all proceeds would pass immediately to the named charitable organizations. Policies originally intended to protect a spouse, child or even complete a mortgage payment may no longer be necessary. Consider how these policies may be used to help fulfill other needs or causes.
Employer Matching Gift
You may have an employer with a formal matching gift program through which they match your tax-deductible contributions as an employee.
Check with your employer today and see if your gift to Ambleside can be matched. We are delighted to supply all of the documentation needed to confirm your gift for matching gift programs.
Appreciated Stock
Ambleside can benefit from your transfer of long-term appreciated securities including stock, bonds and mutual funds, allowing you to actually give 20 percent more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation — by avoiding capital gains taxes. The maximum federal capital gains tax rate is 20 percent on long-term holdings.
